Long-Term Impact Vision

Our 10+ Year Vision

In ten years and beyond, Orbit will be a trusted, everyday part of how people form and maintain platonic relationships.

Individual Impact

Millions of people will have used Orbit to meet someone new for a walk, a coffee, a shared hobby, a group activity, or a moment of companionship during a transitional or isolating period of life. For many, Orbit will be the first place they felt safe reaching out without pressure, expectation, or judgment.

People will have built meaningful networks through Orbit, not just transactions, but genuine relationships and communities. Each booking will create lasting connections that extend beyond the platform, forming friendships, routines, and local networks that continue without Orbit needing to mediate every interaction.

Industry Impact

Orbit will be known not for maximizing engagement, but for setting a standard for how social platforms can reduce harm. Our emphasis on verification, clear boundaries, and real-world accountability will have meaningfully reduced bad actor behavior and helped normalize safety-first design across the industry.

We will have proven that it is possible to build a sustainable business without exploiting loneliness, addicting users, or blurring platonic boundaries. Growth will be steady, intentional, and aligned with long-term trust rather than short-term metrics.

Community Impact

Communities formed through Orbit will extend beyond the platform. Friendships, routines, and local networks will continue without Orbit needing to mediate every interaction, reflecting success rather than churn. The platform will be used when people need connection, not relied on to fill every social gap.

Activity-based communities will emerge organically, including hiking groups, photography clubs, foodie networks, and more, all built on the foundation of shared experiences and genuine connections. These communities will create lasting value that compounds over time.

Cultural Impact

Most importantly, Orbit will have helped make loneliness more visible, more discussable, and less stigmatized. By offering a clear, ethical alternative to dating apps and transactional marketplaces, Orbit will have contributed to a cultural shift where seeking companionship is seen as normal, healthy, and human.

The conversation around loneliness will have shifted from shame and isolation to understanding and connection. Seeking platonic companionship will be recognized as a healthy, normal part of human flourishing.

Platform Evolution

As Orbit grows, we envision evolving from a marketplace for activities to an activity-based social network where:

• Every booking builds your community

• Every activity strengthens your network

• Every connection creates lasting value

• Every experience compounds into something greater

After 100 bookings, users won't just have 100 transactions. They'll have 100 relationships, a network of connections, and a community built through shared experiences.

Global Reach

Orbit will operate in cities and communities worldwide, making safe, platonic connection accessible to people everywhere. We will have built a global platform that addresses loneliness as a universal human experience, not limited by geography, culture, or circumstance.

Sustainable Business Model

Orbit will have proven that ethical business practices and sustainable growth are not mutually exclusive. We will have demonstrated that prioritizing safety, dignity, and human flourishing can create a successful, sustainable business that serves its community rather than exploits it.
