Partnership Overview
Who Meter is built for
Modern tech-savvy enterprises and scale-up companies wanting to outsource network operations entirely: technology companies, multi-site retail, light industrial, modern hospitality. Customers who want a network 'just to work' without IT building it.
Meter is a San Francisco-based Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) startup that delivers enterprise networking (wired + wireless + firewall + cellular failover) as a fully managed subscription. Founded by Anil Varanasi and backed by Sequoia, Sam Altman, General Catalyst, and others (>$170M total funding), Meter builds its own networking hardware (routers, switches, access points) and pairs it with a cloud-managed control plane — customers get fully managed enterprise networks for a monthly per-square-foot fee with no upfront capital.
