OneLayer has closed a $28 million Series A funding round led by Maor Investments. The round included participation from McRock Capital, Chevron Technology Ventures, and existing backers Viola Ventures, Grove Ventures, and Koch Disruptive Technologies. The investment brings the company's total funding to more than $43 million.
The private LTE and 5G management specialist plans to use the capital to accelerate its go-to-market efforts and expand product capabilities. Demand for private cellular networks is growing rapidly, and OneLayer has positioned itself to meet that demand with a platform that eliminates the need for specialized cellular expertise.
OneLayer has experienced significant momentum over the past two years. The company saw 6X growth last year followed by 3X growth this year, backed by a customer pipeline that extends through 2026. The funding round was oversubscribed, reflecting strong investor confidence in the company's approach to a complex market problem.
"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."
The private cellular market is at an inflection point. Enterprises are deploying these networks at scale for critical operations, but many struggle with device visibility, security gaps, and operational complexity that traditional IT infrastructure never presented.
OneLayer will direct the new capital toward several key areas. The company plans to accelerate go-to-market initiatives in response to surging enterprise demand. It will also expand product capabilities to address critical operational challenges its customers face daily.
Geographic expansion is another priority. After successful entry into Latin American markets, OneLayer will scale operations beyond North America and further expand its European presence. The company has already proven its platform across multiple regions and verticals.
Founded by CEO Dave Mor and his team, OneLayer provides advanced asset management, operational intelligence, and Zero Trust security for private LTE and 5G networks. The company's mission centers on a straightforward premise: transform private cellular environments from operational silos into integrated enterprise networks.
The platform gives organizations complete device visibility, security, and control through familiar IT management tools. Instead of requiring specialized cellular knowledge, OneLayer translates complex cellular networks into language that enterprise IT teams already understand. This approach has resonated across industries including utilities, manufacturing, mining, airports, and critical infrastructure.
OneLayer has secured deployments spanning North America, Europe, and Latin America. These include major expansions at Fortune 100 manufacturers, where enterprises have scaled from initial deployments to comprehensive multi-site rollouts across 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."
The platform has proven essential for organizations deploying private LTE and 5G networks at scale. Southern Linc's regional LTE network spans 122,000 square miles across Alabama, Georgia, and southeastern Mississippi, supporting devices ranging 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 supports thousands of devices. These include Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, smart meters, operational technology, and other cellular devices.
In Latin America, mining operations have used OneLayer to enable automated processes, improve operational efficiency, and securely deploy new production sites. The platform's comprehensive device discovery, classification, and network segmentation capabilities have been central to these implementations.
The Series A round attracted investors with deep expertise in industrial technology and energy sectors. McRock Capital, known for its focus on industrial automation and AI, sees OneLayer as foundational to scaling Industrial AI applications.
"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."
Chevron Technology Ventures joined the round through its Core Venture Fund, which targets high-growth startups with breakthrough technologies. The investment aligns with Chevron's interest in technologies that improve core business operations while creating new growth opportunities.
"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 has built a comprehensive partner ecosystem spanning the entire private cellular value chain. Partners include cellular leaders Nokia and Ericsson, cellular router manufacturers Digi, Cradlepoint, and Multitech, and CMDB providers ServiceNow and SolarWinds. The company also works with channel partners and integrators like World Wide Technology (WWT), Burns & McDonnell (B&M), Anterix, and Future Technologies, plus cybersecurity vendors including Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, Checkpoint, and Claroty.
