Every introduction comes with a reason.
Three minutes of setup. Then a few people a week who are actually worth your time.
1. Say what you offer and what you need
One sentence each. That's what we match on.
2. Get introductions with a reason
“You need a CPA who knows SaaS. They are one.”
3. You decide who to meet
Nobody can message you until you both say yes.
LinkedIn is where your résumé lives. Orbira is where your relationships grow.
Keep your LinkedIn profile. Orbira does the part it was never built for: turning contacts into people who actually know you.
| Orbira | ||
|---|---|---|
| Who's in your network | Anyone who clicks Connect | People you've actually met or talked to |
| How you meet people | Cold messages and InMail | Introductions with a reason. Nobody can message you until you both say yes |
| What you see | A feed of posts, ads and updates | No feed. A few people worth meeting each week |
| Where it happens | Online | Local chapters, one-on-one coffees and Virtual Connect |
| What it measures | Connections and followers | How deep each relationship is: Talked, Met, Established, Trusted |
| When you travel or move | Your contact list stays the same | Introductions in the new city are waiting for you |
Your network, city by city.
Every line is a relationship, and it gets heavier as it deepens. Travel to Nashville or move to Dallas, and the people you trust there are already on your map.
Built from the ground up, one city at a time.
Each city starts with the people on this waitlist and a local leader, then grows through monthly gatherings and coffees that turn into real relationships.
The waitlist
Founding members sign up. The cities with the most interest go first.
A chapter leader steps up
We give them the playbook, the tools and our support.
The first gathering
Founding members meet in person, and introductions start that week.
The network grows
Gatherings, introductions, and links to new chapters as cities open.
Distance isn't a limit.
Your city doesn't have to be open for you to start building. Meet members anywhere over video, right inside Orbira.
- Video calls with your connections, no numbers or links to swap
- Introductions to members in cities that are already open
- Virtual gatherings that bring chapters together
Join a chapter, or start one.
Chapters are the heart of Orbira: a local group of professionals who meet every month and make introductions for one another.
Be part of one
- Free to join. No annual dues and no required weekly meetings.
- Open to every profession. Nobody holds a seat for your industry.
- Come when you can. Gatherings are monthly, and your introductions keep coming between them.
- Go where you go. Visit other chapters when you travel, or join a new one when you move.
Start one in your city
If you're the person who already knows everyone, we'll help you turn that into a chapter.
- A share of the revenue. Chapter leaders earn part of every ticketed event and local sponsorship.
- A complete toolkit. Everything you need to launch and run a chapter, so you aren't starting from scratch.
- Real standing. The Chapter Leader label, and first introductions to the people moving into your city.
- A clear commitment. One gathering a month, and new members welcomed within two days.
Measured in relationships, not connections.
A click doesn't make someone part of your network. Each relationship moves through five stages, and you both confirm each step.
Connected
You both said yes to an introduction.
Talked
You've spoken, by phone or on a video call.
Virtual ConnectMet
You met in person, and both of you confirmed it.
Established
You've met more than once or helped each other.
Trusted
People you'd vouch for, and who'd vouch for you.
Your network goes where you go.
In town for a few days? See who you know there and who's worth meeting. Moving? Arrive with introductions already lined up instead of starting over.
What it costs
The network itself is free. You'll never pay to see who's here or to meet them. Orbira earns its money from chapter gatherings and local sponsors, not from charging you to network.
Everything you need to build real relationships:
- Your profile, Asks and Offers
- Weekly introductions, each with a reason
- Messaging and Virtual Connect
- Your Network Map
- Joining a chapter
Each chapter sets its own gatherings. Many will be free. Some, like dinners or workshops, will be ticketed, with the price shown up front. There are no annual dues and no required meetings.
Down the road, there'll be optional paid features for people who travel or move often. Nothing you need in order to use Orbira will sit behind them.
Founding members get the extras free for their first year.
Join the waitlist before your city launches and you'll get every paid feature free for a year, plus the Founding Member label on your profile for good. Invite others and they get the same offer.
You're on the list.
We'll email you when your chapter opens.
Bring the people you'd want to meet.
Share your link. Everyone who joins through it gets the same founding offer: the paid extras free for their first year. The more people you bring, the sooner your city opens.
Why I'm building Orbira
I have hundreds of professional connections online, and I've met only a fraction of them. The people who actually helped my career were the ones I knew: people I'd had coffee with, worked beside, or been introduced to by someone we both trusted.
Orbira is built for those relationships. It starts local, it's built on trust, and it goes with you when you travel or move.
