Edera, the only company worldwide offering a secure-by-design Kubernetes and AI solution, announced today it has secured a $5m seed investment.
The funding round was spearheaded by 645 Ventures and Eniac Ventures, featuring contributions from FPV Ventures, Generationship, Precursor Ventures, and Rosecliff Ventures, with additional backing from angel investors including Joe Beda, Filippo Valsorda, Mandy Andress, Jeff Behl, and Nikitha Suryadevara from Kleiner Perkins.
The enterprise infrastructure company is set to transform container security. Edera leverages a type 1 hypervisor technology to ensure isolation at the container level, fundamentally altering how containers operate and eliminating the possibility of container escapes—a breakthrough in the tech industry.
Edera’s innovation extends to enabling enterprises to deploy containers securely, whether on public clouds, private clouds, or on-premise setups, without needing virtualization extensions or bespoke infrastructure. Their platform ensures that containers, treated akin to virtual machine guests, do not share kernel states, with a memory-safe Rust control plane bolstering security.
Joe Beda, angel investor and co-creator of Kubernetes, said, “The original design goals for Kubernetes were for ‘soft’ multi-tenancy where there was a level of trust between users of a cluster. But as Kubernetes has found its way into more domains, the need for stronger security protections has become apparent.
“Edera fills this gap by using virtualization to both reduce risks and, ultimately, reduce costs. It allows Kubernetes to go places it has never gone before!”
