Summary
doxx.net closed a $38 million Series A financing on October 2, 2026, with Andreessen Horowitz as lead investor, according to SaasRise. Animo Ventures and Focal.vc participated as co-investors. The round total was disclosed by the company; no valuation or revenue multiple was revealed.
The capital will fund the rollout of the company's Agentic Defined Networking (ADN) platform, a server-less private networking solution designed for users and their AI agents. The platform promises private, secure networks that operate without intermediary servers and embeds threat-protection policies that block known malicious destinations for both human users and automated agents. The financing coincides with the platform's open beta launch.
Founder Barrett Lyon, who previously worked on DDoS defense through Prolexic (later acquired by Akamai), is leveraging that background to target growing demand for zero-trust, server-less connectivity. The company intends to use the Series A to accelerate product development, expand its engineering team, and fund go-to-market efforts aimed at early-stage enterprises and privacy-focused developers. Andreessen Horowitz partner Joel De La Garza also secured a board seat, which SaasRise characterizes as providing guidance on product-market fit, enterprise sales, and future fundraising.
The article positions ADN against traditional VPN and SD-WAN solutions. Competitors named include Perimeter 81 and Twingate, which rely on cloud-managed control planes and may face pressure to add agentic, zero-trust features. SaasRise notes the company did not disclose ARR or net-revenue-retention metrics. Its analysis speculates on a valuation in the 10-15x ARR range, but this is an unverified estimate and not a reported figure.
