Neji, a San Francisco-based company founded in 2017 by Jong Hyeop Kim and Peter Lai, specialized in developing next-generation networking and security technologies. The firm operated as a provider of network appliances and computer software, targeting the business and productivity software market.
The company's core offering centered around software that included advanced networking protocols with built-in ethernet encryption. This technology was designed to create programmable networks capable of reducing traffic, optimizing performance, and increasing reliability. A key benefit for users was the ability to easily reprogram their network infrastructure and enhance flow control.
Neji secured a total of $850K in funding over two seed rounds, with ZMT Capital listed as an institutional investor. The first seed round took place on December 28, 2017, for $350K, followed by a second round on March 6, 2018, for $500K. Another source reports a total of $2.8M raised, with a seed round of $1.95M on December 1, 2017. The company was ultimately acquired by Brex in a merger and acquisition deal on March 24, 2020.
