Product Vision

Orbital is the structured discovery layer for startups building across the Solana ecosystem.

The product exists because the ecosystem needs a clearer way to discover real projects, understand their stage, and identify founders who are open to funding, partnerships, or acquisition conversations.

Product promise​

Discover startups orbiting the Solana ecosystem.

Primary user​

The primary user is a Solana startup founder.

Founders need to:

  • Connect a wallet.
  • Complete a professional profile.
  • List a startup with enough information to be trusted.
  • Control the public status of their startup.
  • Signal whether they are raising or open to acquisition conversations.

Secondary users​

Secondary users are people exploring the Solana startup ecosystem:

  • Investors.
  • Potential acquirers.
  • Scouts.
  • Builders.
  • Funds and accelerators.
  • Ecosystem teams.
  • Community members.

Their goal is to discover real startups, filter them by useful criteria, and understand their status quickly.

Product principles​

  • Prioritize trust over volume.
  • Make every published startup look real, maintained, and verifiable.
  • Keep public startup information behind wallet login.
  • Keep v1 focused on discovery before adding transactional workflows.
  • Avoid promising acquisition infrastructure before it exists.
