Orkes, a platform helping companies deploy and scale AI and agentic systems, secured $60 million in Series B funding led by AVP. The round brings the company's total funding to approximately $90 million.
The funding will support Orkes' expansion as enterprises increasingly adopt AI agents—autonomous systems designed to perform complex tasks with minimal human intervention.
Orkes provides infrastructure and tools that enable organizations to build, manage, and scale these agentic workflows across their operations. The platform addresses a growing need for reliable systems that can handle the orchestration and execution of AI-driven processes at enterprise scale.
AVP led the Series B investment, signaling institutional confidence in the company's approach to a critical infrastructure gap. The additional $60 million in capital positions Orkes to accelerate product development and market expansion as AI adoption accelerates across industries.
The company joins a growing roster of infrastructure-layer startups capitalizing on enterprise demand for AI systems beyond traditional chatbots and language models.
