๐ Meeting Prep: Discovery Call โ Orion Technologies
March 13 ยท 10:00โ10:45 AM PDT
๐ข About Orion Technologies
Orion Technologies is an AI-powered Data Loss Prevention (DLP) SaaS company that replaces traditional policy-based DLP tools with autonomous AI agents that monitor data in real-time, detect user intent, and prevent leaks proactively. They serve enterprise customers in finance, healthcare, and technology.
- ๐ฐ Funding: Closed a $32M Series A in early 2026, led by Norwest Venture Partners with participation from IBM โ bringing total funding to ~$38M
- ๐ Growth signals: Round closed less than a year after seed, signaling rapid traction
- ๐ท๏ธ Key differentiator: No reliance on manual policies โ reduces false positives and maintenance costs vs. legacy DLP
๐ค Marcus Hale โ VP of Sales Operations
- Oversees the sales ops infrastructure at Orion โ likely owns the CRM, forecasting tools, and sales tech stack
- Talk track: He'll be evaluating how your platform integrates into their existing sales motion and whether it reduces operational overhead for a scaling team post-Series A
- Likely pain points: Scaling a sales org quickly after a large funding round, data hygiene, pipeline visibility
๐ค Priya Nambiar โ Head of Revenue Operations
- Owns the revenue operations function โ she'll be thinking about systems, enablement, and cross-functional alignment between sales, marketing, and CS
- Talk track: Focus on reporting, attribution, and workflow automation for a fast-growing RevOps team
- Likely pain points: Consolidating tools, reducing manual work, improving rep productivity
๐ก Suggested Talking Points
- Post-funding growth: With $32M just raised, Orion is likely hiring aggressively โ ask about their headcount growth plans and how their current stack is keeping up.
- IBM partnership: IBM is an investor โ worth asking if they're leveraging any enterprise IBM tooling and where gaps exist.
- Stack consolidation: RevOps + Sales Ops being in the same call suggests they're looking for a unified solution, not a point tool.
- Security posture: Their core product is about data security โ they'll likely have strict requirements around data handling and compliance. Be ready to speak to SOC 2, data residency, etc.
