Eridu AI
AI-native networking silicon and systems for hyperscale GPU clusters
About Eridu AI
Eridu AI is a Saratoga, California company building AI-native networking chips and systems that replace multi-hop optical tiers in large GPU training clusters. Founded in 2024 by CEO Drew Perkins (co-creator of PPP; co-founder of Lightera/Infinera/Gainspeed/Mojo Vision) and Omar Hassen (networking silicon background at Broadcom and Marvell), Eridu redesigns the switch stack so more functions sit on-chip, cutting power, cost and latency versus classic Arista-style gear as GPU bandwidth scales far faster than merchant switches. Target customers are hyperscale cloud providers, AI labs and enterprises running million-GPU-class clusters. Emerging from stealth in March 2026, Eridu raised an oversubscribed $200 million Series A led by Socratic Partners, John Doerr and Matter Venture Partners, with Hudson River Trading, Capricorn Investment Group, SBVA, MediaTek, Bosch Ventures, TDK Ventures, Eclipse and VentureTech Alliance (TSMC) among participants, bringing total funding to about $230 million.
