The Irish artificial intelligence platform Oraion has just secured a significant $3.5 million pre-seed investment to propel its expansion into the United States. This funding round, led by Delta Partners and supported by Plug and Play, underscores the growing momentum behind European AI startups aiming for global reach.
Oraion is building a next-generation AI platform designed to streamline and automate complex business operations. The company’s technology focuses on making data-driven decisions more accessible for enterprises, leveraging advanced machine learning and natural language processing to deliver actionable insights. This approach addresses a critical need for businesses seeking to harness large datasets without requiring in-house AI expertise.
Amount raised: €2.9 million (pre-seed).
Lead investor: Delta Partners.

The U.S. market represents a major opportunity for AI platforms due to its large enterprise customer base and robust tech ecosystem. Oraion’s leadership sees this expansion as a chance to:
Tap into new enterprise partnerships
Attract top AI talent
Compete with established U.S. and global AI providers
Oraion’s platform is engineered for ease of integration and scalability, allowing companies to automate workflows without deep technical resources.
