In an increasingly volatile world, enterprises face significant losses from unforeseen physical threats and supply chain disruptions. Orion is addressing this critical need with its AI-powered risk intelligence platform, announcing a $3.5 million funding round to scale its operations. The platform is designed to give physical risk and command-and-control teams the foresight needed to detect, quantify, and act on real-world threats before they can cause operational or financial damage.
Orion secures $3.5M in funding led by Dynamo Ventures to scale its risk intelligence platform.
The AI platform detects and quantifies threats like protests and natural disasters in advance.
It provides real-time risk scores within a half-mile radius of any asset.
The technology maps and monitors entire supply chains, predicting disruptions days ahead.
Orion's pricing model is significantly more scalable than legacy systems.
Clients include Fortune 500 companies, with one reporting 20x cost savings.
For decades, organizations have relied on manual processes and disconnected tools to track global risks, leading to billions in avoidable losses annually. Orion’s system changes this paradigm by using a proprietary methodology to calculate real-time risk scores for specific assets. Its AI learns from how each team responds to disruption, providing evolving, bespoke models that predict and quantify threats from political unrest to environmental hazards, giving teams crucial days of advance warning.
"Risk teams no longer need more data; they need better signals," said Rahul Thayil, CEO of Orion. "Our team of engineers trained at NYU, MIT, Oxford, and Cambridge is building a system that translates global volatility into clarity. With this funding, we're expanding across supply chains and defense networks to help organizations anticipate and act before disruption strikes."
A key differentiator for Orion is its scalable architecture and explainable AI. Unlike legacy systems that can cost over $100,000 per site, Orion's compute-based model allows for per-asset pricing of around $1,000 per year. This makes comprehensive risk monitoring accessible for enterprises of all sizes. Furthermore, its internal STAN (Spatiotemporal Adaptive Network) framework quantifies uncertainty, turning complex signals into explainable confidence scores that decision-makers can trust.
The platform's value is particularly evident in securing complex global supply chains. It provides operators with real-time visibility into how risks propagate across assets and geographies, enabling proactive adjustments to protect people and operations. This capability has attracted leading logistics and cloud-infrastructure operators as customers.
"The modern supply chain is a living, breathing network and it's increasingly exposed to geopolitical, environmental, and informational shocks," said Jon Bradford, Managing Partner at Dynamo Ventures. "Orion gives operators real-time visibility into how risks ripple across assets and geographies. It's the intelligence layer every supply chain needs to stay resilient in an unpredictable world, and we're proud to lead this round."
Orion's latest funding round validates the critical market need for predictive, AI-driven risk intelligence. By transforming unstructured data into actionable, quantitative insights, the platform is empowering enterprises to move from a reactive to a proactive posture, building a more resilient and smarter global infrastructure.
