Orkes Raises $60M in Series B Funding Led by AVP

The company plans to use the funds to grow its operations and support development efforts.

Orkes has created a global developer community with hundreds of thousands of members and millions of installs. It has also tripled its customer base, which now includes major companies such as United Wholesale Mortgage, Quest Diagnostics, Twilio, LinkedIn, Naveo Commerce, and Woodside Energy.

Orkes’ open-source technology, Conductor, was first developed at Netflix to help it scale globally and is still used there today. Over the past four years, Orkes has expanded this proven system for AI and agent-based systems.

This allows developers to run AI agents reliably in production using Orkes’ execution layer. Unlike many AI demos that fail in the real world, Orkes workflows include built-in governance, strong reliability, clear visibility into AI actions, and easy scalability through Conductor as the runtime.

Since launching its agentic orchestration tools in 2023, Orkes has enabled developers to deploy AI in production, making it the fastest-growing feature on its platform. For example, Naveo Commerce uses Orkes to power real time supply chain operations, where AI agents monitor inventory, detect disruptions and automatically resolve issues.

“Commerce is entering a new era. At Naveo, we see agentic orchestration not as incremental innovation but as a structural leap forward — enabling enterprises to adapt in real time, unlock new revenue models, and achieve resilience at scale,” says Naveo Commerce CEO Jamie Goldring. “Our partnership with Orkes will redefine how order and warehouse management is delivered for the next decade.”

"Developers need orchestration, controls, and visibility to run advanced AI and agentic systems with confidence. Orkes provides that assurance so developers’ applications and agents behave predictably at scale, even as they push the boundaries of what AI can do," said Jeu George, co-founder and CEO of Orkes. "The trust we're seeing from both the developer community and global enterprises reinforces the role Orkes plays as the missing orchestration layer that makes AI highly reliable, observable, and governable."

"Orkes is helping define what production grade AI orchestration looks like," said Abhishek Shukla, Managing Director at Prosperity7 Ventures US. "Its platform gives enterprises a single, governed engine to coordinate LLMs, tools, microservices, and human review so AI can safely sit in the middle of mission critical workflows. We're excited to support the team as they bring this capability to more customers and industries."

"Orkes gives developers the confidence to deploy AI in production with the reliability, control, and scale they expect, and global enterprises rely on the platform for mission-critical operations," said Alex Scherbakovsky, general partner at AVP who led Orkes’ Series B round and is joining the board. "That combination of deep technical credibility and real-world adoption is exactly what we look for at AVP, and we're excited to support Orkes as they define how AI is operationalized in the enterprise."

Orkes’ platform offers a rich set of engineering capabilities and the ease with which we can outsource state machine processing. To complement a great platform, we've been really spoilt with Orkes’ team helping us make the re-platform/transition seamless," said Shaun Clements, principal engineer at Woodside Energy.
