Orbit Labs

The problem

Founders keep ideas, customer notes and decisions in a dozen tools, and lose the thread between what they learned and what they built.

The solution

Orbit Labs captures notes, calls and documents in one place and turns them into a weekly plan, with every task linked to the evidence behind it.

Who it's for

Founding teams of 2–15 people before their Series A.

Market

Bottom-up: about 30,000 customers like this in Japan and nearby, worth roughly $120 million a year at our prices.

Competition and edge

Headline metric

8,200 active users, growing 15% a month

The team

Mei knows the customer and has sold to them before; Kenji has built this kind of system at scale. We have worked side by side since before Orbit Labs had a name.

Worked together

1–3 years

Hiring

A senior engineer and our first customer-success hire.
