Scylos, a next-generation stateless endpoint infrastructure company, today announced the close of a $3 million oversubscribed seed financing round. The round was led by Galgano family investments, with participation from multiple private investors. The funding will support continued platform development, expanded enterprise and public sector pilots, and strategic partnerships across security-sensitive and always-on endpoint environments.
Most endpoint security problems exist because devices were never designed for the environments they now operate in. Scylos was built to remove that complexity entirely. The oversubscribed nature of this round reflects deep belief in our team, our architecture, and the long-term future of a stateless approach to endpoints.
Eliminating operating system risk through stateless architecture
Scylos is building a stateless endpoint platform anchored by ZeroCore, its operating-system-free execution substrate, and centrally orchestrated through Scylos Switchboard, the company's control plane for deploying, governing, and transforming endpoints at scale. By removing local operating systems and persistent state from the trust boundary, Scylos reduces attack surface, simplifies recovery, and allows endpoints to be deployed, updated, and transformed on the fly, without reboot, reimaging, or residual state.
Instead of managing machines, organizations manage intent: what an endpoint is allowed to do, when it can do it, and under whose authority. That shift is only possible when endpoints are stateless by design.
Platform capabilities and use cases
The stateless endpoint platform supports a wide range of use cases, and also enables emerging capabilities such as ShapeShifter, allowing policy-driven endpoint persona changes on the fly, with no reboot, reimaging, or residual data. This lets a single device serve multiple functions across different security contexts.
- Public-facing kiosks and digital signage
- Industrial control systems and operational technology environments
- Regulated enterprise access points
- Zero-trust network access (ZTNA) implementations
Scylos was designed from day one to operate at scale without the fragility of traditional endpoint stacks. This funding allows us to accelerate deployments, expand pilot programs, and continue refining a platform that delivers real-world reliability in always-on and security-critical environments.
Scylos is commercially available today and supports phased, production-ready onboarding across enterprise, industrial, and public-sector environments, with deployments proceeding as customers complete internal validation, compliance, and security approvals.
