What is Orbital
Orbital is where Solana startups get discovered. Every published listing is a structured profile — what the startup does, its stage, tech stack, team, and self-declared market signals — reviewed by a human before it publishes, with a direct line to the founder. The result is a clearer view of what is being built across Solana, for the people deciding where to invest, acquire, or build.
Orbital is growing from a discovery directory into a marketplace for funding, acquisitions, and talent — see the Vision.
Live today
Last updated: July 2026.
- Sign in with email, Google, or a Solana wallet, powered by Privy. Users who sign in without a wallet get an embedded Solana wallet created automatically.
- A public marketplace at orbitalhub.dev/startups, browsable with no account, and The Orbital — a 3D globe of geo-located published startups.
- Free listings. Every submission passes a 7-point quality checklist, then a human reviews and approves or rejects it before it publishes.
- Market signals set by founders: raising funds and open to acquisition conversations. Both are filters in the marketplace.
- Featured listings: 20 USDC for 7 days of priority placement and a gold marker on the globe. This is the only payment in the product today.
- Public founder profiles with display name, job title, bio, and X and Telegram handles.

Who it is for
- Founders — the primary users. List your startup for free, signal that you are raising funds or open to acquisition conversations, and let the ecosystem find you.
- Investors, acquirers, scouts, and builders — browse and filter the ecosystem, then contact founders directly on X or Telegram.
- Talent — a future audience. A jobs board is on our roadmap; there are no job listings today.
What Orbital does not do yet
Orbital does not execute deals. There is no in-app messaging, no escrow, no deal rooms, and no job listings today. Signals lead to conversations, not transactions: Orbital points you to the founder, and everything after that happens directly between the parties, off-platform. See the Roadmap for what is coming.
