About Us

Our Mission

We’re building the operating system for investment decisions.

Across private equity, venture capital, corporate development, and hedge funds, investment teams are overwhelmed with data but still rely heavily on manual analysis, fragmented tools, and institutional knowledge trapped in people’s heads.

Orion changes that.

Our platform brings market, financial, and firm-specific intelligence into a single system — learning how each firm evaluates risk, opportunity, and conviction. Every output is designed to be IC-ready, auditable, and grounded in real evidence.

We don’t aim to replace investor judgment. We aim to strengthen it — by giving teams the structure, memory, and analytical depth required to make better decisions, consistently.
