Arpio Raises $15M in Series A Funding Led by S3 Ventures

The round also saw participation from Draper Associates, Uncorrelated, Valor Ventures, CreativeCo Capital, and Lookout Ventures.

The company plans to use the funding to expand its recovery and cyber resilience platform further, strengthen its capabilities for AWS and Microsoft Azure environments, and add support for Google Cloud and other AI-focused cloud services.

As cyberattacks, cloud outages, and infrastructure failures become more common, Arpio helps enterprises quickly recover critical systems from ransomware, outages, and other disruptions. Its platform can restore operations in minutes instead of days and allows organizations to test and validate their resilience before an incident occurs.

Arpio was built specifically for cloud environments. Its platform helps enterprises automate disaster recovery and quickly restore operations after ransomware attacks, cloud outages, human errors, cyber incidents, and other failures, including those affecting modern AI-powered systems.

In addition to helping organizations recover from incidents, Arpio allows companies to automate failover testing to make sure their recovery plans will work when needed. These tests can be performed without disrupting live systems, removing much of the manual effort traditionally required.

As expectations for cyber resilience continue to increase from customers, regulators, and company boards, organizations are under growing pressure to prove they can recover quickly and maintain business operations before a disruption occurs.

“Ransomware has permanently raised the bar for resilience. It's no longer enough for a workload to come back. Recovery has to be automated, near instantaneous, and trusted, and legacy disaster recovery tools can’t do that,” said Tom Clute, a Principal at Paladin Capital Group. “Nearly every day brings another headline about an organization that couldn’t recover when it mattered most. Arpio is one of the few cloud-native platforms built from day one for this challenge, combining AI, automation and continuous testing so enterprises can prove recovery works before they need it.”

“As each day passes, AI technologies are increasing the vulnerability of cloud workloads—from both external threats and internal errors. It’s not a matter of if, but when an enterprise has downtime for critical services. At that crucial moment, enterprises using Arpio will be the best at responding quickly and seamlessly—thereby avoiding the financial and reputational damage suffered by peers who are slower to recover from such incidents,” said Eric Engineer, General Partner at S3 Ventures.

“Over the last decade, we’ve seen cloud-hosted applications become an integral part of every facet of life and business. Ensuring that when disaster strikes, there is a plan to rapidly recover that workload and take downtime from days and weeks to hours and minutes has never been more important,” said Doug Neumann, CEO of Arpio. “This funding will allow us to expand our market presence among AWS & Azure customers, bring critical new capabilities into the platform including our AI roadmap, and grow our world-class team to advance our cloud resilience mission.”
