Arpio (Formerly Carica Labs)

The firm operates on a SaaS model, offering a fully managed solution that enables businesses to set up and automate their disaster recovery processes. Arpio serves a range of clients from startups to large enterprises, including names like Choice Hotels, 23andMe, and SAS. The platform is designed to replicate the entire cloud environment, not just servers and data, but also the surrounding infrastructure such as networking, security, and identity configurations. This comprehensive approach supports over 100 AWS services and resource types. Revenue is generated through subscriptions to its platform, which offers different tiers like Standard and Enterprise editions.

Arpio's core service provides automated, cross-region, and cross-account disaster recovery. Key features include continuous replication of AWS resources, one-click failover for rapid recovery, and automated testing that doesn't disrupt production environments. The platform ensures business continuity by allowing organizations to meet stringent Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs). For enhanced security, backups are vaulted and air-gapped, and the system is designed so that Arpio itself never sees or stores customer data, maintaining SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance. Since its inception, Arpio has raised a total of $10.4 million over several funding rounds, including an $8.2 million seed round in August 2023 led by S3 Ventures and Companyon Ventures.
