AI-Powered Risk Intelligence: Orion Scales with $3.5M to Predict Supply Chain Disruptions

NEW YORK, NY – November 19, 2025

From Reactive Security to Predictive Insights

Orion, an AI-driven risk intelligence company headquartered in Denver, has closed a $3.5 million funding round led by Dynamo Ventures, with participation from Bravo Victor Venture Capital, Techstars, Service Provider Capital, and a grant from the Puerto Rico government. The investment signals growing confidence in proactive risk management solutions, particularly as global events continue to disrupt supply chains and threaten operational stability. The company’s platform goes beyond traditional threat detection, aiming to predict and quantify risks before they materialize – a shift industry experts say is crucial for modern enterprises.

Founded on the principle of moving beyond reactive security protocols, Orion's technology leverages AI and machine learning to synthesize data from diverse sources – social media, local news, geospatial information, and weather patterns – to provide a comprehensive risk assessment. This granular, localized risk assessment offers real-time scoring within a half-mile radius of any asset, allowing businesses to proactively mitigate potential disruptions. “The old ways of risk management are simply insufficient in today’s volatile environment,” states one industry analyst. “Companies need to anticipate threats, not just react to them.”

Disrupting the Risk Intelligence Market

The current risk intelligence market is often characterized by expensive, siloed systems and a reliance on manual analysis. Orion is positioning itself as a disruptor by offering a significantly more affordable and scalable solution. Its pricing model – $1,000 per year per asset – is a stark contrast to the legacy systems that can cost upwards of $100,000 per site. This cost differential is a major selling point for businesses looking to expand their risk coverage without breaking the bank.

The company’s core technology, the STAN (Spatiotemporal Adaptive Network) framework, is designed to quantify uncertainty and translate subjective signals into explainable confidence scores. This allows decision-makers to move beyond simple alerts and make more informed, data-driven decisions. “The ability to provide not just a warning, but a confidence level associated with that warning, is a game-changer,” explains a source familiar with the technology. “It’s about providing clarity in a world of chaos.” The investment round will be used to scale the platform and expand its reach to a wider range of industries and geographies.

Beyond Supply Chains: Applications Across Industries

While Orion initially focused on supply chain risk management, the company’s technology has applications across a wide range of industries. The platform can be used to protect critical infrastructure, secure cloud infrastructure, safeguard personnel, and mitigate risks associated with protests, natural disasters, and other disruptive events. This versatility is a key factor driving the company’s growth.

The company’s initial client base consists of Fortune 500 logistics and cloud infrastructure operators, a testament to the platform’s effectiveness and scalability. One global client is reportedly using Orion's software to monitor both people and venues worldwide, achieving significant cost savings compared to traditional intelligence platforms. While specific figures are closely guarded, sources indicate that the client has avoided potential losses of hundreds of millions of dollars by proactively mitigating risks.

“The demand for this type of technology is only going to increase,” states one venture capital investor. “Companies are realizing that investing in proactive risk management is not just a cost, but a strategic imperative.” The investor notes that the increasing frequency and severity of global disruptions – from geopolitical conflicts to climate change – are driving demand for more sophisticated risk intelligence solutions.

The Power of Spatiotemporal Analysis

The STAN framework’s ability to analyze data across both space and time is central to its predictive capabilities. By combining real-time data with historical trends and predictive modeling, the platform can identify patterns and anomalies that would be difficult or impossible to detect using traditional methods. This is particularly important for managing risks associated with mobile assets, such as trucks, ships, and drones. The ability to pinpoint potential threats within a specific geographic area and time frame allows businesses to take targeted action to mitigate those risks.

One expert in AI and machine learning notes that the key to successful risk intelligence is not just collecting data, but interpreting that data in a meaningful way. “It’s about turning raw information into actionable insights,” they explain. “Orion’s STAN framework appears to be well-designed to do just that.” The company’s emphasis on explainable AI – providing clear and understandable reasons for its predictions – is also a key differentiator.

Looking ahead, Orion plans to continue investing in research and development to enhance its platform’s capabilities and expand its reach. The company is also exploring partnerships with other technology providers to integrate its risk intelligence platform into existing security and operational systems. The ultimate goal, according to sources within the company, is to create a more resilient and secure world for businesses and individuals alike.
