Alexander Walsh, Co-founder and CEO said: “This investment is an important step on our journey to transform how enterprises harness their data. It will accelerate our expansion and fuel the continuous evolution of our platform to deliver unparalleled actionable insights at scale. We are driven by a bold vision to secure 50% market share of Fortune 500 companies within the next three years. This funding brings us one step closer to reshaping the future of enterprise intelligence.”

The startup is led by a team of alumni from Apple, N26, Revolut, MongoDB, Printify, and Bolt.

As demand rises for secure and effective AI tools, Oraion enables teams to interact with enterprise data in real time, surfacing insights, anticipating business events, and recommending timely actions.

Oraion is designed to support industries ranging from investment intelligence and customer sentiment analysis to workflow automation. Its AI agents extract context from both internal and external systems to deliver clear, actionable recommendations.

With 80% of data professionals now using AI daily, according to the 2025 State of Analytics Engineering Report, Oraion aims to shift teams away from data maintenance toward strategic impact—addressing the fact that 57% still spend most of their time organizing data rather than influencing decisions.

Joe Coyne, Managing Partner, Studio VC, added: “We back Founders who are ahead of the curve, and the Oraion team is building exactly where the enterprise world is going, toward more autonomous intelligent systems designed to serve humans, not replace them. Agentic AI isn’t just a trend, it’s a fundamental shift. Oraion is uniquely positioned to lead this transformation, and we’re excited to partner with them at this pivotal moment.”

The new funding will help Oraion rapidly grow its team, with plans to triple its workforce to 45 employees in engineering, R&D and go-to-market roles by the end of 2026.

In just a year, Oraion has moved out of stealth mode and already secured enterprise clients across sectors like e-commerce, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, private equity, investment management, and financial services.
