About
Orbit organizes life's messages around the people and priorities that matter most. It keeps up with your email and messages for you, gathers everything into themes built around your life — school, family health, a trip, a project — and has the important parts already understood by the time you look. Instead of scrolling through everything one message at a time, you start with what changed, what needs you, and what's coming up.
Our mission is to make digital communication more human — clearer and easier to manage — so people can stay connected to what matters most. We believe technology should help people feel more connected, not more overwhelmed. Your attention is valuable, and software should respect it. And privacy and security are foundational, not an add-on.
Bill is an MIT PhD and co-founder of DataXu, an AI company acquired by Roku for $150M. After years at Roku and The Trade Desk, he turned years of frustration with communication technology into Orbit. As a parent and caregiver, the problem was always personal — not just professional.
