Co-built, not subcontracted. Equity, not invoice.
AAL’s venture studio arm. Two or three a year: Forge builds the software, Orbit holds the equity.
Four phases. Years long.
The build is the first twelve weeks; the relationship is everything after.
One live, one forming. Room for more.
Every Orbit venture is a Forge build where we took equity instead of an invoice.
