OneLayer, the leader in private LTE/5G OT management and Zero Trust security, announced it has closed a $28 million Series A round led by Maor Investments with participation from McRock Capital, Chevron Technology Ventures and existing investors Viola Ventures, Grove Ventures and Koch Disruptive Technologies.
The Series A round brings total funding to more than $43 million, enabling OneLayer to accelerate its go-to-market motions and expand product capabilities as enterprises rapidly adopt private cellular networks for critical operations. The investment reflects the company’s explosive growth, with 6X growth last year and 3X growth this year backed by a strong customer pipeline extending through 2026.
“Private 5G represents a massive market opportunity, with enterprise demand far outpacing the industry’s ability to deliver simple, secure solutions,” said Ido Hart, Partner at Maor. “OneLayer solves this by translating cellular networks into enterprise IT language, eliminating the need for specialized cellular expertise. At its core, OneLayer is building the essential infrastructure layer that will make private 5G as ubiquitous as WiFi or any LAN.”
OneLayer’s mission is to secure and manage all private cellular network devices with enterprise-grade capabilities while eliminating the need for specialized cellular expertise. The company’s platform transforms private cellular environments from operational silos into integrated enterprise networks, providing complete device visibility, security, and control through familiar IT management tools.
The funding round was highly competitive and oversubscribed, reflecting strong investor confidence in OneLayer’s vision and proven momentum. OneLayer has demonstrated significant market traction across multiple verticals, including utilities, manufacturing, mining, airports, and critical infrastructure, with proven deployments spanning across North America, Europe and Latin America. This includes major expansions at leading fortune 100 manufacturers, with enterprises scaling from initial deployments to comprehensive multi-site deployments spanning numerous facilities.
“Enterprises are deploying private cellular networks at unprecedented scale, but they’re struggling with device visibility, security gaps, and operational complexity that didn’t exist with traditional IT infrastructure,” said Dave Mor, CEO and Co-Founder of OneLayer. “The demand for solutions that bridge this gap is explosive, customers need to manage thousands of cellular-connected devices with the same confidence and control they have over their existing IT assets.”
“OneLayer enables secure private 5G for industrial automation and autonomy – the foundation Industrial AI needs to scale,” said Scott MacDonald, Co-founder & Managing Partner of McRock Capital. “Private cellular networks represent the next wave of digital transformation, but connectivity without security is a house of cards. OneLayer provides the missing layer of trust that enterprises need to adopt private 5G with confidence.”
“OneLayer’s software platform holds promise to improve private cellular network reliability and integration for industrial companies, offering better visibility, cost efficiency and security,” said Jim Gable, Vice President of Innovation within Chevron’s Technology, Projects and Execution division and President of Technology Ventures at Chevron. “This is the latest investment from our Core Venture Fund, which focuses on high-growth startups and breakthrough technologies that have the potential to improve Chevron’s core businesses, as well as create new opportunities for growth. We welcome OneLayer to the portfolio.”
OneLayer’s platform has proven essential for organizations deploying private LTE and 5G networks at scale. Notable deployments include:
- Southern Linc’s regional LTE network spanning 122,000 square miles across Alabama, Georgia, and southeastern Mississippi, supporting diverse devices from grid control systems to mission-critical push-to-talk services.
- Evergy’s private LTE network, built to eventually cover their 1.7 million customers in Kansas and Missouri; currently supporting thousands of devices, including Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, smart meters, OT and other cellular devices.
- Latin America mining operations where OneLayer enabled automated processes, improved operational efficiency, and secure deployment of new production sites through comprehensive device discovery, classification, and network segmentation.
OneLayer’s comprehensive partner ecosystem spans the entire private cellular value chain, from cellular leaders Nokia and Ericsson to leading cellular router manufacturers Digi, Cradlepoint, and Multitech; CMDBs ServiceNow and SolarWinds; channel partners and integrators World Wide Technology (WWT), Burns & McDonnell (B&M), Anterix, and Future Technologies; and leading cybersecurity vendors such as Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, Checkpoint, Claroty, and more.
Adding to the strong revenues from its expanding customer base, the company will use the Series A funding to:
- Accelerate go-to-market initiatives in response to surging enterprise demand
- Expand product capabilities to provide customers a platform that solves their critical operational pains
- Scale geographic expansion beyond North America following successful entry into Latin American markets, and further expand European operations
OneLayer’s growth reflects the broader market transformation as private cellular networks evolve from carrier-grade infrastructure to enterprise-managed networks. With partnerships across major 5G vendors and proven success in critical verticals and leading enterprises, OneLayer has become the defacto solution for managing and securing the rapidly expanding private cellular market.
