Upscale AI is a pure-play AI networking infrastructure company headquartered in Santa Clara, California, founded by industry veterans from Palo Alto Networks, Marvell, Cisco, and Google and led by CEO Barun Kar. The company builds a full-stack, open-standards AI fabric spanning silicon, systems, and software — its SkyHammer scale-up ASIC architecture and NVIDIA Spectrum-X/SONiC-based scale-out Ethernet systems connect accelerators, memory, and storage for large-scale AI training and inference. Backed by Mayfield among others (Premji Invest, NVIDIA, Salesforce Ventures, Temasek, Tiger Global), it has raised $500M total at a $2B valuation. The company publishes no public API, developer portal, or machine-readable interface surface beyond a Webflow-served llms.txt; it sells networking hardware and software evaluated by hyperscalers and neoclouds.
