Orbyt: a curated network for people building in healthcare

In healthcare, a founder who needs a clinical introduction usually knows an operator who knows a doctor who knows the right person. That chain is invisible, so most people never get to use it. Orbyt, a curated network from The Healthtech Collective, was built to make it visible and usable.

I worked on the product and application layer. The core idea is access modelled as context: you, a healthcare operator who knows the right people, a doctor with the clinical network, and the opportunity that opens when the chain connects. Around that sits the membership product: a waitlist and application flow, a founding cohort capped at 100 members who shape the culture, operating principles and introduction rituals, and a live feed of who has requested access (a founder from Bengaluru, a doctor from Manipal, an investor from an early-stage fund) so the network feels alive before it opens.

The result is a launch-stage product with applications under review and the first founding members in. This case describes the product and the parts I built; membership and event numbers belong to the Collective and are not repeated here.

Building a community product where who-knows-whom is the actual value? Message me with the introduction your members cannot get today.
