Nexthop AI

Nexthop AI (Nexthop Systems Inc.) builds efficient AI networking infrastructure for the world's largest cloud operators. Founded by Anshul Sadana, the company designs scale-out and scale-across Ethernet switches, a networking software portfolio, and optics and cables engineered for hyperscalers and neoclouds, focused on power efficiency, cost, reliability, and speed of deployment to bring down the cost per token of AI workloads. Backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), the company raised an oversubscribed $500M Series B at a $4.2B valuation. This is a hardware and systems networking company; as of this profile it publishes no public developer API, SDK, or API reference — its login surface is a customer support and software-release portal, not a public programmable API.
