The problem

You’ve tried the apps. They make you do the work.

Swiping doesn't make friends.

Profiles flatten people into photos. You can't swipe your way into a friendship that sticks, no matter how many thumbs you give.

Events don't make friends either.

50 RSVPs, 12 no-shows, one person actually talks to you. Random events aren't curated. They're lottery tickets.

Group chats don't fill themselves.

Everyone's tired, flaky, or two T stops away. Making it happen feels like a second job.

How Orbt works

Three steps. We do the work.

  1. 015 min, once

    One intake

    Tell us who you are

    Who you are, how you socialize, what kind of group mix you want. This is the only work you ever do.

  2. 0230 seconds

    One tap

    Say when

    Pick an activity (coffee, drinks, brunch, dinner), the days that work, a time window. Submit. ORBT goes to work in the background while you go back to your life.

    Meet the group

    A compatible group and you get a push notification with the venue, time, and the other 4 members. Show up, hang out.

A quiet agent for your social life.

How ORBT pairs compatible members
U.S. Patent Pending

The science

Matching math, not magic.

Every pair of members gets a compatibility score across four dimensions. Your preferences (same energy, or a healthy mix?) dynamically reweight the math for your matches.

  • How you socialize
    30%
    Small talker or deep diver. Loud table or quiet corner. Dry wit or warm hugger.
  • Personality mix
    25%
    Big Five plus how you balance energy, empathy, and independence.
  • Life context
    25%
    Age, career stage, how long you've been in the city, what you're figuring out.
  • Interest overlap
    20%
    Music, books, movies, hobbies. The conversation hooks before the conversation.

Every possible pairing gets a score. The highest-chemistry group wins. You never see the math.

After the hangout

Meet Blend.

You met someone at the hangout and you clicked. Brunch, drinks, coffee, whatever it was. Scan each other’s QR code. Blend returns a compatibility card that names what you share by name and hands you the openers to keep the friendship going.

Beyond the first night

From first hang to crew.

One hang is a start, not an event. The chat stays live, the same crew can meet again in a tap, and ORBT keeps showing up so your social life does too.

Honestly, why ORBT?

Not another friendship app. A different shape.

FAQ

The honest answers.

  • You tell us an activity, the days that work, and a time window. We find people who want the same thing at the same time and score every possible pairing for compatibility. When a group clicks into place, you get a push with the people and the plan. The math stays under the hood.

  • $25 a month. Flat. Say when as often as you like. No per-event fees, no tiers, no upsells. You pay the venue directly for food and drinks. Cancel anytime, no questions.

  • Every hangout ends with a rating. We learn from every round, so next week's match is sharper. You can pause your membership anytime and pick back up when you're ready. No pressure, no lock-in.

  • We're rolling out city by city, with new dinners opening as enough members sign up. Tell us where you are when you apply and we'll show you what's happening in your city.

  • No. ORBT is platonic-first and group-format. No 1-on-1 profiles, no swiping, no rejections. Groups are mixed by default. You can opt into women-only or queer-only pods in onboarding.

  • A team of psychologists, ML engineers, and people who spent too long watching friendship apps get it wrong. The matching science and Blend are both patent pending (U.S. application numbers 63/860,497 and 63/820,237).
