Netris raises $15M Series A from a16z to automate the networking that slows down GPU clouds

Netris, a Santa Clara startup specializing in GPU data center network automation, has raised $15M in a Series A round led by Andreessen Horowitz. The company's platform automates setup, configuration, and operations for neocloud operators, addressing the complex networking challenges of GPU clusters — including multi-tenancy isolation and hardware-accelerated configuration across thousands of switches. Netris reports 800% annual recurring revenue growth and over 35 live GPU cluster deployments totaling roughly one million GPUs, with customers including Lightning AI, HPE, and TensorWave. Notably, the platform uses deterministic algorithms rather than AI, as the CEO argues network configuration requires repeatability, not creativity. Funding will go toward hiring, hardware vendor support expansion, and platform development.
