Operon is the data intelligence layer for heavy industry. We ingest the messy documents a plant runs on (P&IDs, schematics, datasheets, scans) and turn them into one structured, queryable model of the facility. On top of it, engineers query their plant in natural language and build agentic workflows for safety, compliance, and design.

No investor is drawn from a Form D — the form states how many invested and never who. The one investor on this graph is named because a batch has exactly one.

If you're behind Operon: acceptance into a YC batch is one of the few weeks a young company gets looked up by people who matter — investors, other founders, press. FoxPlug turns the commits, deploys, and releases you're already making into that story automatically, so anyone who looks finds something current. GetFoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
