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, with event gatherings selling out within weeks of announcing.

In May 2026 we became a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization and are excited for our next chapter of growth with our community members.
