Andreessen Horowitz Leads $15M Series A in Netris to Back AI GPU Network Automation

The funding signals venture validation for Netris’s NAAM platform, funding hires, global expansion, partner growth.

Overview

  • Netris announced a $15 million Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz on June 25, 2026, with a16z partner Guido Appenzeller joining the company’s board and Martin Casado and Raghu Raghuram serving as advisers.
  • The company reports rapid commercial traction with 800% ARR growth over the past year and more than 35 live deployments in neoclouds, sovereign AI operators, AI factories, and platform partners.
  • Netris sells a NAAM stack—Network Automation, Abstraction, and Multi-Tenancy—that gives operators a single control plane across mixed fabrics and enforces hardware-level tenant isolation to prevent misconfiguration and data leakage.
  • Nvidia has recommended Netris after demos, and the startup says its ecosystem includes HPE, Mirantis, Red Hat and others that help speed customer introductions and real-world rollouts.
  • Netris plans to use the new capital to hire engineers and sales staff, open regional offices including Singapore in 2026, add vendor support and scale operations, a move that could shorten time-to-revenue for small GPU cloud operators and reduce downtime risks on large clusters.
