What is OrbitKin?

Your gateway to meaningful platonic connections in the digital age

The Problem We Solve

In today's world, making genuine friendships as an adult is harder than ever. Whether you've moved to a new city, transitioned to remote work, or simply find it challenging to connect with like-minded people, you're not alone. Traditional social platforms focus on dating or professional networking, leaving a massive gap for those seeking authentic platonic connections.

OrbitKin bridges this gap by intelligently matching you with 3-5 other compatible people to form your "Orbit" – a small, supportive group where genuine friendships can flourish.

The Isolation Epidemic

We're Facing a Crisis

  • The U.S. Surgeon General has declared loneliness a public health epidemic, with health impacts comparable to smoking 15 cigarettes daily
  • 1 in 2 adults report experiencing loneliness, with young adults reporting the highest rates
  • The average American hasn't made a new friend in 5 years
  • Remote work, social media paradox, and urban anonymity have created perfect conditions for isolation

Why Traditional Solutions Fail

Large social networks create the illusion of connection but often leave us feeling more isolated. 500+ "friends" online, yet no one to call in a crisis.

Random meetups rely on chance and geography. You might find people nearby, but proximity doesn't guarantee compatibility.

Dating apps have solved romantic connection but ignore the equally important need for platonic relationships. Not everyone needs a partner, but everyone needs friends.

The OrbitKin Solution

Small, Meaningful Groups: Research shows 4-6 people is optimal for building genuine connections. Small enough for intimacy, large enough for diverse perspectives.
Values-First Matching: We prioritize deep compatibility over surface-level similarities. Find people who share your worldview, not just your zip code.
Structured Support: With Orbot's facilitation and conversation prompts, we remove the awkwardness of initial connections and help friendships flourish naturally.
Accessible Technology: Whether you're on Discord, mobile, or web, OrbitKin meets you where you are, making connection convenient and sustainable.

"Connection is not a luxury – it's a fundamental human need. OrbitKin exists to ensure no one has to face life's challenges alone."
