Ethernovia Raises Over $90 Million Series B to Scale Leading-Edge Autonomy and Physical AI Networking Chips

Ethernovia, revolutionizing the nervous system of intelligent machines, led by Ramin Shirani, Roy Myers, Hossein Sedarat, Darren Engelkemier, Christopher Mash, and Klaas Bult, has secured a Series B funding round of over $90 million led by Maverick Silicon with participation from Socratic Partners, Conduit Capital, and CDIB-TEN Capital. The round also included additional funding from Ethernovia’s existing investors, including Porsche SE, Qualcomm Ventures, and Fall Line Capital.

Ethernovia is developing high-performance automotive and edge packet processors to serve as the data backbone for next-generation physical AI systems. The platform is designed to handle large volumes of real-time sensor and AI traffic, enabling a unified, Ethernet-based architecture for deterministic data movement and processing at the edge.

The technology addresses the limitations of legacy in-vehicle and industrial networks, supporting scalable zonal and centralized architectures while simplifying system design for AI-driven applications.

Ethernovia’s platform is built around a new class of packet processors designed to manage high-bandwidth sensor, vision, and AI data with deterministic latency and high power efficiency. The processors provide a real-time data fabric for autonomous driving, ADAS, robotics, and AI-defined features, while reducing system complexity, weight, and cost.

Designed for edge and physical AI workloads, the platform supports programmable data paths and scalable Ethernet architectures, enabling software-defined systems that evolve through over-the-air updates while maintaining safety-critical performance.

Ethernovia is positioned to address a critical infrastructure challenge in physical and edge AI by enabling simpler system design and scalable, software-defined platforms across automotive, robotics, and industrial markets.

The new funding will accelerate development and production of the next-generation packet processor family, expand programmable networking software and systems capabilities, and support customer deployments across key markets.
