About

Founder Insights

With a background spanning large-scale Internet carrier and data center network architecture since 2001, Alex identified a critical gap: bringing the simplicity of public cloud networking to private and hybrid cloud environments.

Under Alex's leadership, Netris achieved 800% ARR growth in 12 months, secured a $15M Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz, and now powers 35+ live GPU cluster deployments at some of the world's largest AI clouds.
