AI networking technology startup developing data center switches for large AI models, rebuilding AI infrastructure with clean-sheet designs.
Based in Saratoga, California, Eridu develops artificial intelligence networking technology and custom silicon to redesign data center switches for large-scale AI models. The company focuses on rebuilding AI infrastructure from the ground up to address the scale mismatch between current computing demands and existing networking hardware.

Operating with a workforce of 50 employees, the enterprise emerged from stealth in March 2026 after securing an oversubscribed $200 million Series A round. This financing brought the startup's total venture funding to $230 million, supported by prominent investors including Socratic Partners, John Doerr, Matter Venture Partners, and Hudson River Trading. Eridu was originally founded in 2024 by co-founders Drew Perkins and Omar Hassen.
