When you name your company NetFoundry, you’re not just betting on buzzwords, you’re building on a blueprint. Out here, when the world’s spinning faster than ever, and “zero trust” gets tossed around like free candy at a tech carnival, it takes a different breed to stand tall. Not just loud. Not just early. Right. Galeal Zino, David Hart, Michael Kochanik, Robert Caamano, and Michael Hallett didn’t just show up to the party, they spun out of Tata Communications, tore the old networking playbook into confetti, and built a new foundation: software only, embeddable, zero-trust networking born from the underground.
NetFoundry isn’t playing at cybersecurity, they’re making it impossible for threats to even find the field. Embedding secure microsegmented overlay networks (AppNets) straight into applications, devices, and workflows like it’s second nature. Built on the open-source heavyweight OpenZiti, they’ve carved out a lane where the network bends to the app, not the other way around. While most companies are still patching VPNs and legacy firewalls, NetFoundry’s customers, Oracle, Microsoft, IBM, Blackstone, even the US Military, are building right on top of programmable, invisible, deny-by-default networks that don’t flinch under pressure.
When SYN Ventures dropped the hammer with over $12 million in Series A backing this week, it wasn’t a roll of the dice. It was validation. Add in over $50 million in strategic investment riding shotgun, and suddenly the runway’s wide open. NetFoundry isn’t chasing the future. They’re steering into it at full throttle, fueling expansion across critical infrastructure, cloud, and OT security with a global SDN fabric stretching across 150+ cloud locations. This isn’t scaling. This is scaling with a purpose.
Sales? Doubled in the last record quarter. Revenue? Clocking between $11.6 and $14 million as of this year. Sessions? Over a billion processed without blinking. Clients? Eight of the top ten US banks, two of the Fortune 5, and the next wave of manufacturers who aren’t waiting for security afterthoughts, they’re building it in at the root. The names aren't just flashy. They’re strategic, and that’s the difference between making noise and making moves.
In a world where everyone is screaming about innovation, NetFoundry is moving silently, cutting through the noise like a razor. No VPNs, no MPLS baggage, no exposed inbound ports asking for trouble. Just smart, seamless, self-healing networking embedded wherever it needs to live. It’s clean. It’s cold. It’s inevitable.
Congratulations to the entire NetFoundry team and SYN Ventures for recognizing where the smart money belongs.
