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

> Dallas weather-safety platform Perry Weather raised $110M Series C led by Silversmith on Sep 9, 2026 — with Arthur Ventures returning — as heat and lightning rules force schools, GCs, and stadiums to automate compliance.

**[Perry Weather](/startup/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

| Field | Detail |
| --- | --- |
| Company | [Perry Weather](/startup/perry-weather) ([perryweather.com](https://perryweather.com)) |
| Round | **$110M** Series C (~**$131.35M** disclosed total) |
| Lead | Silversmith Capital Partners (Sri Rao joining board) |
| Follow-on | Arthur Ventures (led A and B) |
| Founder/CEO | Colin Perry (Texas A&M meteorology) |
| HQ / headcount | Uptown Dallas; a little over **100** employees; hiring **>50** through 2027 |
| Traction (company) | **3,000+** organizations; LinkedIn post cites **3,200+**, MLB, **24/25** ENR Top 400 GCs |

## 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

| Approach | What it is | Gap Perry attacks |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Consumer / national radar apps | Cheap situational awareness | Wrong location granularity; no policy automation or audit log |
| DIY station + radio sirens | Hardware without workflow | Still needs a human to interpret and document |
| Generic IoT weather kits | Sensors without vertical playbooks | Weak athletics/GC compliance packaging |

## 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.”
