Orbio Raises $21M to Deploy AI Agents for Frontline Workforce
Madrid startup Orbio lands $21M Series A to automate interviewing, onboarding, and managing frontline workers with AI agents.
Orbio just pulled in $21M in Series A funding led by Dawn Capital. The Madrid-based startup builds AI agents that handle the messy parts of managing frontline workers — interviews, onboarding, day-to-day operations.
Founder Sergi Bastardas spent a decade at Amazon and worked at floriculture startup Colvin before launching Orbio. The throughline? A persistent frustration with how inefficiently frontline workforce management gets done.
The company's bet is straightforward: AI agents can replace clunky, manual processes that bog down businesses relying on large frontline teams. Think retail, logistics, warehousing — sectors where hiring and managing workers at scale is a constant headache.
Dawn Capital leading the round signals confidence in the AI-powered HR tooling space, particularly for the underserved frontline segment. $21M is a solid war chest to prove the thesis out.
