🪐 Investor Relations · Orbit AI Plugin Marketplace + Shared Ideas

Your ideas. Your plugins.
Your revenue.

Orbit is the AI-native platform where builders create, share, and sell plugins — starting with their own ideas. Capture ideas in encrypted, local-first idea spaces, collaborate on shared idea spaces, then turn the best one into a plugin you can sell on the marketplace. Local-first, encrypted, and built so creators keep 85% of every sale.

The Vision

The AI tool market is fragmented.
The creator economy is exploding.
Orbit sits at the intersection.

Every AI product today wants your life in its cloud — conversations, code, context — to train models you don't control and lock you into a subscription silo. Orbit inverts the model: the AI comes to your machine, your memory stays yours, and your best ideas become products you can sell.

🪐 What Orbit is — three pillars

  • 1 · Ideas — encrypted, local-first idea spaces, free for everyone.
  • 2 · Shared Ideas — collaborate with others on encrypted idea spaces; built for college kids, teams and partners.
  • 3 · Plugin Marketplace — build a plugin from one loadable starter project file, sell and buy plugins; creators keep 85% of every sale.
  • Local-first memory — your AI state is a portable Orbit/ folder, not a silo.
  • Zero-knowledge — we can't be compelled to hand over what we never receive.
  • Works offline-first — data stays on device; optional E2E-encrypted sync.

📈 Why now

AI became the interface to everything — but the tools are fragmented and the creator economy is booming without a neutral rails layer. Orbit is the market maker: one local, encrypted runtime + one storefront where anyone can create, share and sell AI-powered plugins. No creator ever builds a website, a payment flow, or an installer again.

🎯 What we're building toward

This round funds six months of development + launch: finish the marketplace rails (seller onboarding, per-plugin checkout, 85/15 payout ledger via Stripe Connect), seed the catalog with first-party plugins, and open selling to outside creators. Capital buys the time to win both the data-custody debate and the marketplace cold-start while staying relentlessly bootstrap-minded.

Market Opportunity

A platform for the whole
creator-to-commerce stack.

Business Model

Subscriptions + take-rate + enterprise.

Three revenue streams, one compounding platform.

💰 Revenue streams

  • Monster subscriptions — $29/mo for unlimited AI + plugin creation (recurring).
  • Marketplace fees — 15% of plugin sales (growth).
  • Enterprise — custom pricing for teams (high margin).
  • 85/15 split — creators keep 85%; Orbit's 15% funds hosting, payment processing and distribution.
  • Payouts — via Stripe Connect, monthly.
  • Free tier — ideas + 5 AI messages/day is the zero-friction funnel; free plugins are the growth engine.

🧱 Moats

  • Encrypted memory — the AI knows you across ideas in a way stateless chat tools cannot.
  • Shared ideas — teams collaborate on encrypted idea spaces.
  • Built-in marketplace — distribution + payments + an 85/15 revenue split, out of the box.

⚔️ Competitive advantage

  • vs ChatGPT — Orbit has memory + plugins.
  • vs Notion — Orbit has AI + a marketplace.

Backed by users, not by habit.

Sheehan Gillis

Founder · Orbit

Sheehan has designed, built and shipped Orbit end-to-end — from the encrypted desktop workspace and its local AI harness to the PWA shell, storefront and the WordPress payment flow. He works out in the open: architecture, security reviews and business plans are all committed to the repo, not kept behind closed doors.

He believes software should serve the person using it — which is why Orbit's first principle is that your data stays yours. He answers every inquiry personally, and he's looking for investors who want to fund a durable, bootstrapped-style company rather than a burn-rate bet.

"Your data. Your hard drive. Your encryption. Orbit doesn't store your life — it just organizes it, right where it belongs."
