The Orbit

The investors, advisors and operators our founders meet first.

Closer is earlier.

From abroad, we are your people on the ground. From down the road, your first look. Everyone who comes close leaves with something.

We keep the circle small, and we put our name on every introduction.

Who it is for
Advisors
Bring an hour to a builder with a real problem this week. You leave with a first look at what is being built next, and a question you are still thinking about on the drive home.
Investors nearby
A pitch shows you thirty minutes. A house shows you the Tuesdays. Come to the fire, say what you honestly think, and know the founder long before there is a price.
Funds elsewhere
Silicon Valley is a lease away. Take a room for your founders, and you have a landing place for them and people at the table every week.
Operators
You know how the work is actually done. Here you meet the company that needs it, sometimes before it knows.
Sponsors
Put your name on a room or a night. Builders remember who was useful to them when it was early.
Partners
Bring your community to our fire. Both circles go home bigger.
Friends of the house
A fund and a title are optional. Come to the fire, bring someone who is building, and tell people about the place. Most introductions start with a friend.
How we are different

We keep the house. Founders keep their companies.

01

We hold no equity

We take no share in the people you meet here, so an introduction from us is only ever an opinion.

02

A house, with no demo day

People stay a month or a year. You watch the work on an ordinary Tuesday.

03

A mixed table

A founder, an engineer, a researcher, you. Nobody is pitching, so everybody talks.
