Pre-seed investment for Orquesta, the first all-in-one LLM Operations and Integration platform in Europe, has been obtained for €800,000. This amount exceeds the company’s intended goal.
Since its foundation in 2022, the Amsterdam-based firm has developed Europe’s first platform for merging several large language models (LLMs).
As it gets ready to create and publicly debut its platform in November 2023, the organization handles quick engineering and configuration.
The platform is planned to be available to SaaS businesses in North America, Europe, and Asia.
Orquesta is a no-code platform that encourages cooperation and effectiveness among software teams by eliminating the need for programming. It frees up engineers’ time, enabling product management to have a clear picture, and makes it simple for internal domain experts to check the precision of interactions.
With a user-friendly interface, the platform makes interactions, data collection, and testing simpler. It gathers input from consumers, subject-matter experts, and other AI models.
Orquesta asserts it is the only European business to provide such a solution now.
The financial success of Orquesta
Orquesta declared that the proceeds from its lucrative pre-seed round will go into platform development, the company’s upcoming launch, and the growth of the European market.
Curiosity VC led the round, with Spacetime, Adriaan Mol’s investment company, serving as co-lead. Other investors in the round included Golden Egg Check Capital, Magnetic Fund, Koen Köppen of Mollie, Milan Daniels and Max Klijnstra of Ottium, and Arjé Cahn of Bloomreach.
Sohrab Hosseini and his business partner, Anthony Diaz, founded Orquesta. This SaaS company provides a uniform gateway for directly integrating various LLM models from OpenAI, Azure, Google, Hugging Face, and Cohere.
“The accelerated development of new AI functionalities leads to increased fragmentation, complexity, and a need for speed within the technology landscape for our clients,” says Sohrab Hosseini, co-founder of Orquesta. This inhibits our clients’ already limited talent from concentrating on strategic tasks and growth.
Hosseini continues, “With one LLM gateway and all the required tools, Orquesta is their partner to stay competitive. “We are very enthusiastic about the focus and multidisciplinary experience of the different VCs and angels who match and support our level of ambition,” the statement continued.
According to Adriaan Mol, the founder of Dutch unicorns Mollie and Messagebird, as well as his investment vehicle Spacetime, “Orquesta has built a best-in-class no-code platform that allows engineers to focus on their proprietary product and shorten release cycles instead of managing LLM integrations, configurations, and rules.”
“With Orquesta, Sohrab, and Anthony have developed a no-code platform that allows companies to easily configure, test, and manage complex prompts and various LLMs, leading the market to assist companies in the application of these new Generative AI technologies,” says Herman Kienhuis, managing partner of Curiosity VC.
