The company

What they're building

EVA Networks builds encrypted, policy-controlled enterprise connectivity that spins up on demand and automatically tears down the network path once its authorised purpose ends. It applies least-privilege thinking to the network itself, spanning partner access, hybrid and multi-cloud, app-to-app traffic, just-in-time infrastructure access, and Ephemeral Agent Paths (EAP) for agentic AI workloads.

Why now

Standing network access is a permanent attack surface, and the arrival of agentic AI workloads only multiplies the number of connections that shouldn't exist a second longer than needed. EVA's bet is that persistent paths are the problem, not the plumbing.

The backstory

Founded in 2026 in Providence by Dan Sheldon, EVA is built on a simple contrarian premise: the safest network path is the one that no longer exists once its job is done.

Why this team

Still early and pre-funding, but the company has already lined up go-to-market partners including World Wide Technology, ePlus, EchoStor Technologies and Layer 8 Security — a sign it's building for enterprise distribution from day one.
