Industry veterans build a future where agentic, proactive, and trustworthy AI replaces brittle dashboards and supports overwhelmed analysts
BOULDER, Colo., Sept. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Gravity, the creators of Orion, a multi-agent AI platform designed to eliminate the gap between data and action by delivering proactive, scalable intelligence across business users and customers, announced its public launch and early adoption by a dozen innovative organizations, ranging from publicly traded companies in the marketing space to cyberthreat organizations and the North American Blueberry Council.
The company also revealed $3.2 million pre-seed funding round led by Village Global, Drive Capital, K5 Global, Ritual Capital and Denver Ventures, with participation from Joris Poort (CEO, Rescale), Lindel Eakman (Partner, Foundry Group), and Nick Caldwell (CPO, Peloton).
Debuting Orion to Industry Accolades
This launch follows Gravity's recent completion of the Google Cloud ISV Startup Springboard program, which helps emerging AI startups accelerate business growth through bespoke technical guidance and go-to-market resources. As part of the program, Orion was featured in a video published on the official Google Cloud YouTube channel on August 26, 2025, spotlighting its unique approach to agentic AI for enterprise decision-making.
After months of behind-the-scenes development, Gravity is debuting Orion: a first-of-its-kind autonomous analytics engine built to fundamentally change how businesses surface insights and make decisions. Unlike conventional BI tools or reactive "chat-with-your-data" interfaces, Orion acts as a tireless, always-on analyst, proactively investigating business data, uncovering emerging trends, and surfacing recommendations without being asked.
"We built Orion to answer the question: what would a world-class analyst do if they had infinite time, no biases, and endless curiosity," said Lucas Thelosen, CEO and co-founder of Gravity. "Most tools wait for humans to ask the right questions. Orion knows what to look for and gets to work before you even log in. Our early customer success is validating our vision."
Agentic AI: The Next Frontier in Enterprise Intelligence
Built quietly by a veteran team, now ready for scale, Orion operates as a multi-agent system made up of intelligent, specialized agents. These agents collaborate and debate, just like a team of top-tier analysts, to investigate anomalies, trace root causes, and provide explanations enriched with third-party context like weather, public holidays, or macroeconomic data.
Whether it's a drop in sales in Florida or a spike in Ireland, Orion doesn't just notice, it explains. By pulling in relevant signals and cross-validating evidence, Orion ensures recommendations are not only accurate, but also contextual and actionable.
Insights at Scale: Without Adding Headcount
Orion integrates smoothly into enterprise data stacks, from BigQuery and Snowflake to Looker, Slack, email, and embedded SaaS products. It delivers personalized insights directly to business users, scaling what used to take hundreds of hours of analysis into automated, explainable reports across hundreds of clients or internal teams.
Imagine a B2B company with 700 clients delivering bespoke analytics to each of them, automatically. Orion makes that possible today.
Why Now: The Agentic AI Opportunity
As AI tools flood the market, most enterprise offerings remain thin wrappers around large language models: good for conversation, but not for high-stakes decisions. Gravity is betting on a different future: one where agentic, proactive, and trustworthy AI replaces brittle dashboards and supports overwhelmed analysts.
In an industry struggling to scale insights, Orion offers a new model: one rooted in trust, collaboration, and operational excellence. The system is designed with enterprise-grade use cases in mind, supporting secure deployment, role-based access, and long-term contextual memory. Unlike black-box models, Orion operates transparently, with solid governance, explainable insights, and long-term memory, earning trust with every answer along the way.
"AI earns trust slowly and loses it instantly," said Drew Gillson, Gravity CTO and co-founder. "We believe the future of enterprise AI won't be chatbots. It will be decision engines that think with rigor and operate with integrity. Our collaboration with Google Cloud in the Springboard program is an important step in realizing this future."
