Arpio, a cloud recovery and resilience platform for cloud environments, announced the close of a $15 million Series A financing round co-led by S3 Ventures and Paladin Capital Group, with participation from Draper Associates, Uncorrelated, Valor Ventures, CreativeCo Capital, and Lookout Ventures.
The company said the new funding will support the continued expansion of its recovery and cyber resilience platform, deepen capabilities across Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure, and expand support to Google Cloud and other AI-native services.
Founded in 2020 by Doug Neumann and Shaw Terwilliger, Arpio was built to provide native recovery for cloud applications. The platform enables enterprises to automate disaster recovery and rapidly restore operations following ransomware attacks, cloud provider outages, accidental errors, destructive attacks, and failures across increasingly complex AI-native environments.
Beyond automated recovery, Arpio also enables organizations to automate end-to-end failover testing to validate that recovery plans will function when needed. The company said testing can be performed without affecting production environments, helping organizations address growing cyber resilience requirements from customers, regulators, and boards while demonstrating business continuity preparedness.
The company plans to use the funding to expand its market presence among AWS and Azure customers, accelerate product development, advance its AI roadmap, and grow its team.
KEY QUOTES:
“Over the last decade, we’ve seen cloud-hosted applications become an integral part of every facet of life and business. Ensuring that when disaster strikes, there is a plan to rapidly recover that workload and take downtime from days and weeks to hours and minutes has never been more important. This funding will allow us to expand our market presence among AWS & Azure customers, bring critical new capabilities into the platform including our AI roadmap, and grow our world-class team to advance our cloud resilience mission.”
Doug Neumann, CEO, Arpio
“Ransomware has permanently raised the bar for resilience. It’s no longer enough for a workload to come back. Recovery has to be automated, near instantaneous, and trusted, and legacy disaster recovery tools simply can’t do that. Nearly every day brings another headline about an organization that couldn’t recover when it mattered most. Arpio is one of the few cloud-native platforms built from day one for this challenge, combining AI, automation and continuous testing so enterprises can prove recovery works before they need it.”
Tom Clute, Principal, Paladin Capital Group
“As each day passes, AI technologies are increasing the vulnerability of cloud workloads—from both external threats and internal errors. It’s not a matter of if, but when an enterprise has downtime for critical services. At that crucial moment, enterprises using Arpio will be the best at responding quickly and seamlessly—thereby avoiding the financial and reputational damage suffered by peers who are slower to recover from such incidents.”
