Orbio AI: £16M Funding for Frontline AI Expansion

Orbio AI, a Madrid-based HR tech startup, has secured £16 million in a Series A funding round. This investment was led by Dawn Capital, with existing investor Visionaries also participating. Orbio AI was co-founded in 2025 and aims to serve the 2.7 billion frontline workers often overlooked by traditional enterprise software. Their AI agent suite manages the entire employee lifecycle, from interviews and candidate assessment to onboarding, engagement monitoring, and tracking churn signals. Current customers include AWWG, Poke House, Atento, Yum Brands, and Adecco. Several of these companies are already expanding their use of Orbio into the UK. The new funding will support Orbio's entry into the UK market with local hires, and further expansion across Europe, the United States, and Latin America. The platform is designed to significantly shorten hiring timelines to seconds and onboarding to hours. This could mean major changes for how large employers manage their workforce.
