Akron, Ohio – September 13, 2026 -- Harmoni, a Factory Orchestration platform for manufacturers, has raised $10 million in Series A funding led by Bessemer Venture Partners, the company announced. Alongside the raise, Harmoni unveiled HAL, an AI system designed to deliver context-aware intelligence directly to the factory floor.
Manufacturers face a projected shortfall of 3.8 million workers by 2033
Nearly half of those U.S. manufacturing positions risk going unfilled as reshoring initiatives and rising costs compound labor pressure, according to Harmoni. Founded in 2023 by David Caputo and Adam Ellis, the company built its platform to address fragmented factory-floor execution that persists despite heavy investment in ERP systems, machine connectivity, and automation.
