Aria Networks has secured $125 million in its first funding round as it builds AI-native networking infrastructure to support rising demand from artificial intelligence workloads. Founded in 2025, the company is backed by Sutter Hill Ventures, Atreides Management, Valor Equity Partners, and Eclipse Ventures, with Atreides managing partner Gavin Baker and Sutter Hill’s Stefan Dyckerhoff joining the board.
Aria is developing a network designed to operate across AI chips from providers such as Nvidia and Google, enabling enterprises to scale or switch hardware without redesigning infrastructure. The company’s platform focuses on improving “token efficiency,” linking AI output to operational cost in data centers.
With early customer orders already in place, Aria plans to use the funding to expand deployment of its AI-optimized networking systems.
