Ideal Customer
- Graphiant's stated ideal customer profile is mid-to-large enterprises with 500+ employees, multiple geographic locations, and a cloud-first or multi-cloud strategy, with particular sweet spot in Fortune 2000 companies with $1B+ in revenue.
- The company has also found strong traction with mid-market enterprises—particularly mid-market financial services firms—as well as service providers, carriers, and government agencies seeking to replace MPLS or SD-WAN with a consumption-based NaaS model.
Key Differentiators
- Graphiant's core technical differentiator is its proprietary 'stateless core' architecture, which forwards traffic by metadata labels without decrypting payloads at intermediate hops, eliminating the tunnel sprawl of SD-WAN and the rigidity and cost of MPLS—claiming up to 60–70% better ROI compared to MPLS plus SD-WAN.
- The platform is sold as a single SKU with one consumption-based subscription covering all features—connectivity, security, ZTNA, DLP, and observability—with no per-feature licensing, hidden fees, or required hardware.
Industries Served
- Graphiant serves enterprises across financial services (including payments networks and mid-market banking), healthcare, manufacturing, retail, government/public sector, and telecommunications.
- The company has specific use-case offerings tailored for financial payments networks, sovereign data infrastructure, and government agencies requiring mission-critical secure transport.
Service Coverage
- Graphiant operates globally with a private backbone spanning 11 regional PoP locations across North America (Ashburn VA, Atlanta GA, Chicago IL, Dallas TX, San Jose CA, Seattle WA), Europe (Frankfurt, London), Asia (Singapore, Tokyo), and Australia (Sydney).
- The company is headquartered in San Jose, CA, with regional offices in London and a newly established regional headquarters in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, following its 2025 Series B extension investment from Aramco and stc Group.
Partnerships
- Graphiant operates a 100% channel-driven go-to-market model through its G-Force Partner Program, selling exclusively through systems integrators, value-added resellers, managed service providers, and technology alliances.
- Key technology partners include Intel (Smart Edge ecosystem), Rohde & Schwarz/ipoque (DPI integration), AWS and Google Cloud (cloud backbone interconnect), and Firefly Telecom Consulting.
Company Size & Ownership
- Graphiant was founded in 2020 by Khalid Raza (co-founder of SD-WAN pioneer Viptela, acquired by Cisco for $610M in 2017) and Stefan Olofsson, emerging from stealth in September 2022.
- The company has approximately 77–96 employees as of 2025–2026, and has raised approximately $114–121 million in total funding across a Series A ($33.5M in 2020) and Series B ($62M in 2023 plus a $19M extension in May 2025).
Compliance & Certifications
- Graphiant holds SOC 2 (2024), SOC 2 Type 2 (2025), and ISO 27001:2022 (2025) certifications, as listed on its public Trust Center at trust.graphiant.com.
