Dublin-based AI-powered enterprise intelligence and automation platform Oraion today announced it has raised €2.9 million in a pre-Seed funding round to support product development and accelerate expansion into the US and Latin America.
The round was led by Studio VC, an early-stage VC firm based in New York City, including backers Enterprise Ireland and angel investors such as Paul Forster, Co-founder of Indeed.com; Aidan Corbett, Co-founder and CEO at Wayflyer; Gearoid O’Brien, Principal Data Scientist at YouTube; Juho Parkkinen, CFO of the Burning Man Project; Angus Miln, Partner at Cooley LLP; Maurice O’Donoghue, serial entrepreneur; Adam Wilson, Nordea Bank; Maria O’Brien, Partner at SOSV; and Pierre-Antoine Porte, OpenAI.
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.”
Founded in 2024, Oraion is an AI-powered platform that uses agentic AI to deliver a “single source of truth” to enterprises. With next-generation intelligence, Oraion surfaces deep insights, automates critical workflows, and enables enterprises to make data-backed decisions.
The company is led by alumni of Apple, N26, Revolut, MongoDB, Printify, and Bolt.
As demand grows for secure and reliable AI solutions, Oraion’s intelligence platform gives enterprises the ability to use AI to enable clear decision-making in seconds. This provides them with deep insights, integrating automatically into existing workflows without disruption.
According to Oraion, teams across any industry can chat with their enterprise data to surface insights in real time and predict and prepare for business events before they happen. Oraion’s agents interrogate internal and external systems, extracting context and content to deliver current recommendations in time-sensitive and data-dense arenas such as investment intelligence, customer sentiment analysis, and workflow automation.
The platform can serve as a company’s enterprise data store or connect with their existing data infrastructure, supporting over 300 data sources.
By integrating directly with productivity applications like Slack, Microsoft Teams, and more, executives can interact with Oraion through their existing applications.
According to the 2025 State of Analytics Engineering Report, 80% of data professionals now use AI daily, up from 30% last year, signaling a major shift in how enterprises handle data.
Yet 57% still spend most of their time maintaining or organising data sets instead of driving business decisions, a persistent imbalance that Oraion says limits the strategic impact data teams can make.
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 investment will enable Oraion to expand its team rapidly, with the aim of tripling the workforce to 45 staff in engineering, R&D, and go-to-market by the end of 2026.
Over the past year, the company has gone from stealth mode to landing enterprise customers across e-commerce, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, private equity, investment management, and financial services.
