Eridu Ai Employee Directory

Eridu is a private AI networking and semiconductor company headquartered in Saratoga, California, founded in 2024. The company is developing a clean-sheet network switch built around custom silicon, designed to address the fundamental networking bottlenecks that limit the performance and scale of AI data centers. Rather than making incremental impr... ovements to existing architectures, Eridu has redesigned its switching platform from the ground up across silicon, systems, software, and optics to deliver an order-of-magnitude improvement in performance, radix, and throughput for both scale-up and scale-out AI network architectures. Its target customers include hyperscalers, neoclouds, and sovereign cloud operators. The company was co-founded by Drew Perkins, a serial networking entrepreneur previously behind Lightera and Infinera, and Omar Hassen, whose background spans networking chip design at Broadcom and Marvell.Read More
