## About

Based in CA, US. Founded in 2025, co-founded by Christian Pickett and Bera Sogut. Orthogonal assists engineering teams in designing and deploying streamlined solutions by offering a unified API platform that enhances operational efficiency and supports go-to-market functions. Orthogonal is a company focused on providing innovative API solutions to enhance data integration for various business applications. Founded in 2025 in the US, the company has recently pivoted towards supporting a broader range of industries. The firm has executed one deal, with the most recent funding round occurring on March 2, 2026. The company was founded by a team with a strong background in technology and engineering, aiming to simplify API management for businesses. The company's headquarters is located in the United States. Orthogonal's primary offering is a unified API platform designed to streamline access to a wide range of best-in-class APIs for go-to-market functions, including company data, contact information, and outreach capabilities. The platform enables users, primarily sales and marketing agents, to find and enrich buyer profiles and conduct outreach at scale with ease. It eliminates the cumbersome process of managing multiple vendor-specific APIs by providing a single, consistent endpoint for all API interactions. The service is designed for builders of AI agents and caters to various industries, including marketing, recruiting, and sales. Orthogonal serves a diverse client base that includes growth-focused companies and tech startups across North America, Europe, and Asia, aiming to simplify the complexities of data integration and enhance operational efficiency. Orthogonal's revenue model is structured around a pay-per-call system, whereby clients are charged based on their actual API usage rather than through a subscription model. Each API call deducts from a pre-funded account, which clients can start with 10 USD in free credits and no upfront payment required. This flexible pricing approach caters to a wide array of users, from small startups to larger enterprises, allowing them to manage costs directly correlated to their usage. The primary transaction structure involves direct engagement between Orthogonal and business clients who utilize its APIs to enhance their services. By offering a range of trusted providers through a single platform, Orthogonal ensures that its clients can access a comprehensive suite of tools without the burden of separate contracts or onboarding processes. In June 2026, Orthogonal raised USD 4.3 million in seed funding led by Pantera Capital, with participation from Outbound Solutions Inc., SurrealDB Ltd., BLAST, Decasonic, Y Combinator, and Pioneer Fund. The company plans to use the June 2026 funding to build its discovery, orchestration, and payments layer for AI agents.
