75% of New Hiring Investment to Be Directed Toward India
Axiado Corporation, a leading provider of security and management solutions for modern digital infrastructure, today announced it has raised more than $100 million in an oversubscribed Series C+ funding round led by Maverick Silicon, with participation from Prosperity7 Ventures, Orbit Venture Partners, Crosslink Capital, Nosterra Ventures, and others. The investment will fuel Axiado’s global expansion, including its growing engineering presence in India, and accelerate innovation in AI-driven, hardware-anchored products that are redefining platform security, system management, and energy efficiency for AI data centers, networking, telecom, and edge infrastructure.
This global expansion is anchored by a strategic deepening of Axiado’s R&D capabilities in India. By scaling its engineering workforce and forging local partnerships across hyperscalers, telecom operators, and AI infrastructure leaders, Axiado is directly fueling the next wave of silicon innovation. This investment doesn’t just grow the headcount; it establishes a specialized hub dedicated to solving the complex power and security challenges of the agentic AI era.
“The strong response to our Series C+ round is a clear validation from our customers and partners that AI-driven, hardware-anchored security is now a foundational requirement for today’s data centers.”
-Gopi Sirineni, Founder, President and CEO of Axiado
Axiado’s Trusted Control/Compute Unit (TCU) is redefining data center management control with security for the age of agentic AI. Axiado’s TCU brings intelligence and trust to the platform level, combining secure control, compute, and AI-driven monitoring within a single chip. The TCU’s continuous sensing, processing, and autonomous action capabilities provide the foundation required for intelligent, secure, resilient, and efficient self-managing systems in next generation cloud and data center infrastructures.
“The strong response to our Series C+ round is a clear validation from our customers and partners that AI-driven, hardware-anchored security is now a foundational requirement for today’s data centers,” said Gopi Sirineni, Founder, President and CEO of Axiado.
The India engineering center, which has grown significantly over the past year, is expected to take on an expanded role in firmware development, platform security engineering, and silicon validation as the company accelerates delivery of next-generation TCU platforms.
“Axiado’s TCU not only protects infrastructure from threats in real time but also helps optimize power and cooling. We’re proud to support their mission to build secure, intelligent, and sustainable, AI-ready computing environments.”
– Andrew Homan, Managing Partner at Maverick Silicon
Proceeds from the oversubscribed Series C+ funding will be used to expand sales, marketing, and support teams, as well as to invest in the development of next-generation platforms. The funding will also fuel continued innovation, strengthen strategic partnerships with industry leaders, and accelerate go-to-market initiatives with OEM and ODM partners to bring Axiado solutions into more data centers worldwide. Recent milestones include doubling headcount in Taiwan and India, growing the overall team by 40% and opening a new office in India, positioning the company for continued global expansion in 2026 and beyond.
“As AI workloads continue to transform and push the limits of data center infrastructure, the need for hardware-anchored security has never been greater,” said Andrew Homan, Managing Partner at Maverick Silicon. “Axiado’s TCU not only protects infrastructure from threats in real time but also helps optimize power and cooling. We’re proud to support their mission to build secure, intelligent, and sustainable, AI-ready computing environments.”
“As AI systems become increasingly autonomous and compute-intensive, Axiado’s ability to blend silicon-level trust with intelligent power optimization and system management positions it at the forefront of a more secure and sustainable digital future.”
– Abishek Shukla, Managing Director at Prosperity7 Ventures US
“At Prosperity, we invest in technologies that create the foundation for safe and responsible AI,” said Abishek Shukla, Managing Director at Prosperity7 Ventures US. “Axiado’s AI-driven TCU architecture and its innovations in secure, energy-aware system management perfectly align with that vision. As AI systems become increasingly autonomous and compute-intensive, Axiado’s ability to blend silicon-level trust with intelligent power optimization and system management positions it at the forefront of a more secure and sustainable digital future.”
