Upscale AI

Upscale AI has emerged from stealth with over $100 million in seed funding, co-led by Mayfield and Maverick Silicon, with participation from StepStone Group, Celesta Capital, Xora, Qualcomm Ventures, Cota Capital, MVP Ventures, and Stanford University. This single, outsized Seed round powers the launch of Upscale’s next-generation AI networking stack, built on open standards such as SONiC, SAI, and Ultra Ethernet. Incubated by Auradine, Upscale is deploying this capital to scale silicon, systems, and software that deliver ultra-low-latency networking for AI training, inference, and edge workloads.
