Aranya, a startup that assembles production-ready GPU clusters for AI inference from bare-metal servers within 48 hours, has raised a total of $11 million in seed and pre-seed funding. The round includes a $9 million seed led by First Round Capital, with participation from BoxGroup, Vermilion Cliffs Ventures, and Asylum Ventures, plus a $2 million pre-seed led by Asylum Ventures. The company will use the capital to expand its engineering and sales teams and launch a full multicluster interface.
Founded last year, Aranya already oversees more than $500 million in GPU hardware for AI inference providers and data centers. Its open-source operating system, clusterdOS, sits atop Kubernetes to automate cluster setup, self-healing, and workload orchestration. The system includes a natural-language interface and federated control across multiple clusters, and the company says it consistently meets its 48-hour deployment timeline for custom architectures.
