Auvik Networks Inc.

Auvik Networks was founded in 2011 by engineers Alex Hoff, Marc Morin, and David Yach in Waterloo, Ontario. The founders aimed to solve a problem they saw in legacy networking equipment: companies could not afford wholesale replacement, so IT teams needed a platform that offered remote visibility and control. The company sells a cloud-based IT management platform that combines real-time infrastructure data with AI agents. Core features include automated network mapping, traffic analysis, device inventory, and configuration backups. Auvik supports over 700 device vendors. The platform is used by more than 5,000 customers, primarily managed service providers (MSPs) and internal IT departments. The firm covers geographies including North America, Europe, and Australia. Auvik has grown through both organic expansion and acquisition. It acquired MetaGeek (Wi-Fi tools), Saaslio (SaaS discovery), and Boardgent (endpoint management) in 2022, and Talaia (network traffic analytics) earlier. In 2022, Great Hill Partners invested US$250 million in the company (per the firm, 2022). The firm now employs over 300 people across offices in Waterloo, Ottawa, Barcelona, Sydney, and the UK. In 2026, Auvik launched its Aurora AI platform (per the firm, 2026). One structural differentiator is Auvik's focus on the MSP channel, where its product is integrated into the toolchain of hundreds of service providers. That channel relationship shapes the product roadmap and gives Auvik recurring, usage-based revenue streams rather than one-off license sales.
