Co-built, not subcontracted. Equity, not invoice.
Orbit is AAL’s venture studio arm. Two to three equity co-builds per year, founders we trust, products we’d be proud to run. Forge builds the SaaS. Orbit holds the equity.
Four phases. Years long.
Orbit isn’t a sprint. It’s a permanent position. The build is the first twelve weeks. The relationship is everything after.
Two live. Room for more.
Every Orbit venture is a Forge build where we took equity instead of an invoice. We’re looking for the next one, slowly, carefully, from warm intros only.

“Real-time GTM intelligence.”
Co-built with a GTM founder we’ve been seeking for a year. Forge shipped the realtime data ingestion layer in 10 weeks. Orbit holds the equity position.
“The next founder we build with.”
We take 2–3 new Orbit ventures a year. The founder matters more than the idea. We only build with people we’d still want to be on a cap table with in ten years.
