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
"Connection is not a luxury – it's a fundamental human need. OrbitKin exists to ensure no one has to face life's challenges alone."
What Makes OrbitKin Different
Perfect Group Size
4-6 people is scientifically optimal for forming genuine connections. Large enough for diversity, small enough for everyone to be heard.
Privacy First
Your questionnaire data is never shared with Orbit members. You control what you reveal and when. GDPR compliant and user-focused.
AI Facilitation
Meet Orbot, your optional AI facilitator who helps break the ice, suggests activities, and keeps conversations flowing naturally.
Values-Based Matching
We prioritize shared values and life philosophies over surface-level interests, creating deeper, more meaningful connections.
The OrbitKin Universe
We believe making friends should feel magical, not mechanical. That's why OrbitKin embraces a "Cosmic Tech-Magic" theme throughout your journey:
- •You're a "Kindred" – a unique individual seeking your cosmic companions
- •Your group is an "Orbit" – a small constellation of compatible souls
- •"Signal Mapping" – how we understand your unique frequency in the social universe
- •"Alignment Score" – the cosmic compatibility between Kindreds
