Orq.ai Announces €5M Seed to Bring Enterprise AI Agents Into Production

Amsterdam-based Orq.ai has raised €5 million in seed funding to accelerate its platform for running AI agents reliably in production environments. The oversubscribed round was led by seed+speed Ventures and Galion.exe, with participation from Curiosity VC, Spacetime, XO Ventures, xdeck ventures, Waves Capital, and GoldenEggCheck, bringing total funding to €7.3 million .

Founded in 2022, Orq.ai is building a control layer that helps enterprises experiment with, govern, and deploy agent-based AI systems under real-world conditions. The platform provides observability, evaluation, and runtime infrastructure across more than 300 models, addressing regulatory and operational challenges as AI moves from pilots to production. Orq.ai is now used by over 100 organizations across Europe and the US, including banks, software providers, and consultancies, as demand grows for scalable and compliant AI agent operations.
