About Orion Intelligence Agency
SMB AI strategy and implementation for operators who need one workflow shipped and owned
Who we are
Built by an operator
Dan built OIA from an operations background, managing teams, accountability systems, and execution rhythms inside large-scale operating environments. That is why OIA treats AI as an operating problem first, not a tool-shopping problem.
We help small and mid sized businesses choose the right AI bets, facilitate internal champions, and deploy systems people can run after launch. We build and deploy. We do not stop at advice.
Founder
Dan Mercede

Dan leads OIA as founder and operator. The work is practical: pre-build blueprints, facilitation that sticks, and delivery with ownership.
OIA sits inside the Orion Apex Capital family of companies, alongside product and capital surfaces that share the same operating discipline.
