Axiado, a San Jose, CA-based hardware anchored platform security company, raised $60M in Series C funding.
The round was led by Maverick Silicon with participation from Samsung Catalyst Fund, Atreides Management, and Crosslink Capital.
The company intends to use the funds to drive continued innovation, strengthen strategic partnerships with platform vendors like NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, and Arm, and accelerate go-to-market initiatives with OEM and ODM partners to drive its solutions into the data centers.
Led by CEO Gopi Sirineni, Axiado is deploying a new AI-driven approach to platform security against ransomware, supply chain, side-channel and other cyberattacks in the growing ecosystem of cloud data centers, 5G networks and other disaggregated compute networks. It offers a new processor called the trusted control/compute unit (TCU), which is hardware-anchored, and AI-driven security technologies including Secure Vault root-of-trust/cryptography core and per-platform Secure AI pre-emptive threat detection engine.
Beyond platform security, Axiado’s Dynamic Thermal Management (DTM) solution, embedded within the TCU, is designed to meet the power efficiency demands of AI data centers. Leveraging on-chip AI cores, the DTM solution optimizes thermal management by predicting and adjusting cooling requirements—whether air-cooled or liquid-cooled—based on real-time data.
Recent company milestones include doubling headcount in Taiwan and India, expanding the San Jose team by 30%, and opening a new office in India to support continued growth.
