Perry Weather’s $110M Series C: Silversmith Funds Weather Safety Automation

Perry Weather raised $110 million Series C on September 9, 2026, led by Silversmith Capital Partners, with returning backer Arthur Ventures (Dallas Innovates; FinSMEs). Disclosed total capital: about $131.35 million after a $6.25 million Series A and $15 million Series B. Valuation was not disclosed.

Weather policy used to be a coach with a phone app. Regulators and insurers now want consistent enforcement and a paper trail — Perry is selling the automation layer that turns stations into decisions.

Key facts

Who uses the product — and for what job

Users: athletic directors and coaches, school safety leads, construction and manufacturing safety managers, stadium ops, golf courses, and municipalities that run outdoor programs.

Job: measure conditions on the site → apply the organization’s written heat/lightning/wind policy → clear fields or shut jobs automatically → log every alert and return-to-activity for compliance.

The product pairs purpose-built on-site stations with cloud monitoring for lightning, wet-bulb / heat stress, wind, and air quality, plus sirens and phone notifications. Company framing: nearly all customers have weather policies; most still enforce them inconsistently with consumer apps fed by stations miles away.

Why now

• More than 20 state high school athletic associations now mandate wet-bulb globe temperature monitoring and activity adjustments; Texas UIL’s mandate took effect in August (company / Dallas Innovates).
• Seven states enforce workplace heat standards; OSHA has proposed a first federal heat-injury rule (company).
• Climate disruption plus liability makes “someone watched radar and guessed” an expensive ops model for GCs and school districts.

Why Silversmith — and why Arthur stayed

Silversmith is a growth buyer of category software with clear workflow ownership. Perry already sits in the decision path for thousands of outdoor sites; the Series C thesis is AI + proprietary station data → better decisions → automated action, not another forecast app. Rao called it “category-defining” and joins the board.

Arthur Ventures led Series A and B and is doubling down with Silversmith. GP Pat Meenan’s quote is blunt: weather decisions happen daily at schools, jobsites, and stadiums, and Perry has become how organizations make them. That is classic follow-on conviction once distribution and compliance pull are visible.

Neither Silversmith nor Arthur Ventures has a /fund/ page in this directory.

Competitive map

What to watch

• Whether AI features move beyond alerts into fewer false shutdowns (the ROI story GCs care about).
• Pace of ENR GC and school-district expansion vs. regional weather-safety incumbents.
• Disclosure of ARR or site count beyond “3,000+ organizations.”
