Building More Than Startups

We're building a community where founders don't just celebrate success—we stand together through every challenge, setback, and breakthrough.

We Don't Just Celebrate Your Success

We'll be there in your failure too. At Oribo, we understand that entrepreneurship isn't just about the wins—it's about the journey, the struggles, and the resilience to keep going when everything seems impossible.

When your first product launch doesn't go as planned, when funding falls through, when you're questioning everything—that's when Oribo shines brightest. We're not just a fair-weather community.

We're your support system through the valleys, not just the peaks.

Real Support

"When my startup failed, Oribo didn't disappear. They helped me learn, rebuild, and come back stronger."

- Sarah K., Second-time Founder

How We Build Community

Honest Conversations

No sugar-coating. Real talk about the challenges, failures, and lessons learned. We share what actually works and what doesn't.

Peer-to-Peer Learning

Learn from founders who've been where you are. Share your experiences and help others navigate similar challenges.

Accountability Partners

Get matched with fellow founders for regular check-ins, goal setting, and mutual support through the ups and downs.

Network Through Connections

Expand your founder network through meaningful connections. Meet people you know directly, and discover amazing founders through mutual connections.

First-Degree Connections

Connect directly with founders in your city. People you can meet face-to-face, grab coffee with, and build genuine relationships.

  • Monthly local meetups in your city
  • Coffee chats and co-working sessions
  • Direct collaboration opportunities
  • Build your local founder circle

Second-Degree Connections

Discover incredible founders through people you already know. "I know someone who knows someone" - the most powerful way to expand your network.

  • Warm introductions through mutual connections
  • Quarterly networking events with extended circles
  • Cross-city founder connections
  • Access to global Oribo network
