Edera, a Seattle, WA-based company providing workload isolation technology, raised $15M in Series A funding.
The round was led by M12 with participation from Mantis VC and In-Q-Tel (IQT) and Existing investors Eniac Ventures, 645 Ventures, FPV Ventures, Precursor Ventures, and Rosecliff Ventures.
The company intends to use the funds to further enhance the product expansion to include support for AI infrastructure.
Alongside the funding, Edera launched Edera Protect AI, a solution that automates GPU configuration while securing AI infrastructure. Edera AI automatically configures and isolates GPUs, eliminating manual configuration while protecting AI models from compromises that could pose risks to both enterprise security and society at large.
Led by CEO Emily Long, CTO Alex Zenla, and Distinguished Engineer Ariadne Conill, Edera aims to reduce cloud computing costs by enabling enterprises to consolidate workloads that traditionally require separate clusters or specialized hardware – including GPU workloads – onto standard cloud instances while maintaining strict isolation.
The team is expanding its leadership bench and brought on industry veteran Kaylin Trychon as Chief Marketing Officer, formerly of Google and Chainguard.
Commenting on the news, Emily Long said: “We’re eliminating the traditional tension between development velocity and security by making isolation intrinsic to the infrastructure. Platform teams can focus on creating value while knowing their workloads are secure from the start – no workflow changes required, no security burden post-deployment, just native security that scales with their applications.”
