Orkes, a platform specializing in scaling distributed systems, has raised $20 million in funding. The round was led by Nexus Venture Partners, with participation from Battery Ventures and Vertex. Abhishek Sharma, Managing Director at Nexus, will join the board.
The company has experienced significant growth since its launch and $9.3 million raise in 2022, attracting clients such as United Wholesale Mortgage and Foxtel. The company also actively maintains its open-source Conductor platform, used by developers across a wide range of industries. Conductor offers solutions for sensitive use cases, flexible deployment and configuration options as well as enterprise-grade security measures.
With the new funding, Orkes plans to enhance its product offerings, such as its newly developed AI orchestration platform, which allows businesses to integrate complex generative AI-powered workflows into existing and new applications. The company also aims to expand the Conductor platform and community, which many enterprise companies rely on including Tesla, Oracle and Atlassian.
