Eridu AI is a Silicon Valley-based hardware startup pioneering infrastructure solutions that accelerate training and inference for large-scale AI models. Today’s AI performance is frequently limited by system-level bottlenecks. Eridu AI delivers multiple industry-first innovations across semiconductors, software, and systems to unlock greater GPU utilization, reduce capital and power costs, and maximize data center efficiency. The company’s solutions and value proposition have been validated by several leading hyperscalers.
The company is led by a veteran team of Silicon Valley executives and engineers with decades of experience in state-of-the-art semiconductors, optics, software, and systems, including serial entrepreneur Drew Perkins, co-founder of Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN), Lightera (acq. by Ciena), Gainspeed (acq. by Nokia) and Mojo Vision (World’s leading micro-LED company and developer of the first augmented reality contact lens).
Eridu is a Silicon Valley-based hardware startup pioneering infrastructure solutions that accelerate AI data centers to deliver Faster AI Today’s AI performance is frequently limited by communication bottlenecks. Eridu delivers multiple industry-first innovations across silicon, packaging, software, and systems to deliver a step function in AI networking – a network switch that is an order of magnitude improvement in bandwidth and radix versus today’s “state of the art” switches. This is the first silicon and system designed from the ground up for AI and the increase in radix and throughput unlocks greater GPU utilization to speed training job completion times and tokens-per-second for more profitable inference. We do this while simultaneously reducing capital and power costs, improving reliability, simplifying operations and speeding AI data center deployments for faster time to revenue.
The company’s solutions and value proposition have been widely validated by leading hyperscalers.
The company has raised $200M to date including its most recent, oversubscribed Series A round led by Socratic Partners, John Doerr, Hudson River Trading, Capricorn Investment Group and Matter Venture Partners, with participation by SBVA, MediaTek, Bosch Ventures, TDK Ventures, Eclipse Ventures, and VentureTech Alliance, among others.
Eridu is led by a veteran team of Silicon Valley executives who have delivered multiple billion dollar product lines and led multiple companies to billion dollar exists, including serial entrepreneur Drew Perkins, co-founder of Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN), Lightera (acq. by Ciena), Gainspeed (acq. by Nokia) and Mojo Vision (the world’s leading micro-LED company). The company is in execution mode and has a world-class engineering team with decades of experience in state-of-the-art silicon, packaging, optics, software, and systems. Eridu has also assembled a world class IP, design and manufacturing ecosystem to execute on its vision, and counts TSMC as a key partner in our journey.
