02 · HOW ORBIT WORKS

Four phases. Years long.

The build is the first twelve weeks; the relationship is everything after.

4 PHASES · PERMANENT
01ONGOING

Meet.

Coffee with founders we like, long before anything is built. Warm intros only.

02WK 1–4

Align.

Vision lock, equity split, scope. Ends with a term sheet.

0312–24 WK

Co-build.

Forge ships the product and the venture launches live. Equity vests on milestones, not time.

04PERMANENT

Hold.

Board seat or observer, ongoing support, until exit, pivot, or one of us wants out.

03 · THE VENTURES

One live, one forming. Room for more.

Every Orbit venture is a Forge build where we took equity instead of an invoice.
