Vision · Why now
Software gave the mid-market tools. The next step isn't another tool — it's capacity. ORCONIC is building the AI Workforce OS: a governable, privacy-oriented digital workforce for the DACH mid-market.
The last generation of software digitized individual tasks. The next one digitizes the workforce itself — as a governable, auditable workforce that works alongside your team and respects approvals. Whoever builds this category EU-native and mid-market-ready gets to define it.
Technology
Between 2024 and 2026, large language models evolved from autocomplete into capable agents: tool use, multi-step workflows, reliable structured output. For the first time, real knowledge work — not just text — can be reliably delegated. That's the technical prerequisite for a digital workforce.
Regulation
GDPR, the EU AI Act, and growing data-sovereignty requirements are making US-only tools increasingly unsellable in the mid-market. EU hosting, DPAs, auditability, and data residency are no longer nice-to-haves — they're procurement requirements. An EU-native foundation is a structural advantage.
Market
The DACH mid-market is the backbone of the economy — and the hardest hit by demographic change: open positions go unfilled while repetitive work ties up scarce capacity. The bottleneck is no longer software but capacity — exactly where a digital workforce comes in.
According to the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, the German Mittelstand accounts for more than 99% of all companies and employs roughly half of all workers. Across the DACH region, we're talking about several million small and medium-sized businesses. That's the market where capacity — not software — is the bottleneck.
TAM · Context
Millions of SMBs across the DACH region — the long-term horizon for a digital workforce across every knowledge-work function.
SAM · Focus
Digitally-minded mid-market companies with repetitive sales, support, and ops processes — where ORCONIC creates immediate value today.
Beachhead
Industry-ready packages (trades, agencies, real estate, consulting, medical practices) as the entry point with fast time-to-value.
A note on honesty: concrete TAM/SAM figures depend heavily on segment and pricing assumptions. We deliberately don't quote invented billion-dollar numbers here — we share our rigorous, bottom-up market model, including its underlying assumptions, in investor conversations.
Pre-configured AI roles for sales, support, marketing, and operations — ready in minutes instead of weeks of setup.
Multi-agent workflows as DAGs, with approvals, guardrails, and a human in the loop exactly where it counts.
Row-level security, an immutable audit log, EU hosting, and privacy-oriented processing are built in — not bolted on.
Roles, permissions, anomaly detection, and traceability make the digital workforce governable — the way an operating system manages its processes.
Today: pre-configured digital employees that take over repetitive work. Tomorrow: a workforce that coordinates itself, shares knowledge, and grows with the company — governable, auditable, and anchored in the EU. An operating system for workforce capacity, as natural as ERP is for processes today.
We share our market model, roadmap, and traction with the underlying assumptions — straight talk, no marketing fog.
