How the application really works
Use the official founder application linked from Orbit's current site. Expect commercial, market and investment diligence.
Tips
- Read the cited current official page before applying because program dates and terms are volatile.
- State fit with the documented stage, geography, and attendance model; do not rely on an aggregator's old terms.
- Ask for the complete investment, fee, and follow-on documents when the public page does not publish them.
Watch out for

- The $180k headline includes a $50k program cost paid on the startup's behalf, so founders should model net usable cash as well as the 6% common ownership.
