## About

Founded in 2024 and based in Washington, US, Edera, Inc. operates as a provider of artificial intelligence-based security. Alex Zenla (CTO) and Emily Long (CEO) are the co-founders of the company. In February 2025, Edera, Inc. raised USD 15 million in series A funding led by M12, with participation from Mantis, In-Q-Tel, Eniac Ventures, 645 Ventures, FPV Ventures, Precursor Ventures, and Rosecliff Ventures. The company’s primary products include Edera Protect Kubernetes and Edera Protect AI. Edera Protect Kubernetes offers a security boundary around Kubernetes workloads, eliminating container escapes and strengthening the security of cloud-native applications. Edera Protect AI simplifies the management of AI and machine learning workloads, leveraging enhanced GPU device virtualization and driver isolation to ensure secure operations, particularly in environments using virtual GPUs (vGPUs). The firm also promotes innovation through its open-source project, Edera Krata, which introduces new isolation technologies for enhanced security. In addition to its core offerings, Edera provides services including compliance assistance, infrastructure modernization, open-source support, and training in memory safety techniques. The company plans to use the February 2025 funding to expand its product offering, including support for artificial intelligence infrastructure, and enhance its secure workload isolation technology to improve security and reduce cloud costs.
