Ori Industries

Ori Industries, established in 2018, operates as a provider of a full-stack AI cloud platform, offering flexible deployment options for businesses. The company was founded by Mahdi Yahya, an entrepreneur with a background in telecommunications and technology, having previously served as CEO of Sama Telecom, a major carrier network in the Middle East. His experience in building global data center networks directly informs Ori's mission to simplify and accelerate machine learning development.

The company's core business revolves around providing GPU cloud computing and a machine learning development platform. This platform is designed to support the entire lifecycle of machine learning models, including training, fine-tuning, and inference at scale. Ori's business model is subscription-based, offering GPU-accelerated cloud instances optimized for various AI workloads through a pay-as-you-go model. This provides clients with cost-effective and scalable access to high-performance computing resources. The company serves a diverse customer base, including enterprises, sovereign entities, and telecommunication companies, enabling them to run AI applications on Ori's cloud, their own infrastructure, or a hybrid setup.

Ori's platform provides access to high-end NVIDIA GPUs, including the H100, H200, and soon the GB200 models, which are critical for demanding AI tasks. A key feature is the "Ori AI Fabric," a control plane that unifies AI compute, storage, networking, and orchestration tooling, which can be deployed in public, private, or hybrid environments. This allows for granular control, security, and compliance. In a strategic move to enhance its capabilities, Ori acquired Multy in 2022, an open-source tool that allows developers to create infrastructure configurations replicable across any cloud.

Since its inception, Ori has achieved significant financial milestones, starting with a $2 million seed round in 2019 and followed by several other funding rounds. A major recent development was a $140 million fundraise in February 2025 to expand its compute-as-a-service offerings. The company has also secured a strategic investment from Wa'ed Ventures, the VC arm of Saudi Aramco, to support its expansion into the Middle East. With plans to invest significantly in UK AI infrastructure and expand its global presence, which already includes over 20 locations, Ori is positioning itself to capitalize on the rapidly growing AI market.
