About

Our story

From an idea to curate connections amongst women — to a growing community and a foundation equipping women to launch and lead businesses.

The origin story

The ORB Network began as an idea to curate connections amongst women and design community gatherings that equip women with insights to strengthen their leadership and wellness.

The community launched in September 2025 and has grown to over 300 women in the Seattle area.

Our next chapter as The ORB Network Foundation, on our path to becoming a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, is to create programs for cohorts of women founders to build, launch and lead businesses powered with AI.
