Orbio announced a $21 million Series A funding round led by Dawn Capital. The platform automates hiring and onboarding processes for frontline workers.

Orbio's funding comes as companies face persistent challenges filling hourly and shift-based roles. The platform streamlines recruitment and employee onboarding workflows, reducing manual administrative work for businesses managing large frontline workforces. Frontline sectors—including retail, hospitality, and logistics—traditionally struggle with high turnover and lengthy hiring cycles. Orbio's automation tools address bottlenecks in candidate screening, application processing, and new-hire orientation. Dawn Capital led the round, signaling investor confidence in automation solutions for lower-wage labor markets. The funding will support product development and market expansion. Orbio joins a growing category of HR-tech startups targeting hourly workers, competing with platforms offering similar automation capabilities.
