Orbit — by Fracxional
VC funds have dealflow tools. Accelerators and innovation programs still rebuild the same operating machine every intake: forms, spreadsheets, scoring sheets, interview calendars, mentor emails, sponsor reports. Orbit is the accelerator-first program layer for selection, scoring, mentor coordination, cohort operations, and stakeholder reporting.
Hundreds or thousands of applications come in. Someone triages them in a spreadsheet. Scoring lives in another spreadsheet. Interview scheduling happens over email. Mentors and judges are coordinated by hand. Stakeholders ask for reports that someone stays up assembling. Then showcase day, then reporting, then it all happens again next cohort.
The selection decisions are the program's entire product — and they're made on infrastructure nobody would accept for anything else that mattered this much.
The judgment should stay human. Everything around it shouldn't need to be manual.
Application intake, triage, scoring rubrics, shortlisting, interview scheduling, and selection committee views — one pipeline from first application to final cohort.
Mentor, judge, founder, and partner coordination; cohort management; reminders; no-show handling. The operating work between selection and showcase.
Live scoring dashboards, sponsor and funder reporting, showcase analytics, alumni outcome tracking. The numbers stakeholders ask for, generated instead of assembled.
Orbit starts where the pain is sharpest: accelerators selecting and running startup cohorts at volume. The same operating layer extends to adjacent cohort-based innovation programs.
Cohort selection at volume: rubrics, panel scoring, selection week ops, committee decision flow.
Founder pipeline instrumentation: candidate scoring, cohort composition, stage conversion metrics.
Startup sourcing and scoring, corporate partner matching, PoC and pilot tracking, sponsor dashboards.
Entrepreneurship centers, incubators, and public ecosystem programs that need impact reporting as much as founder support.
A fixed-price audit of your current selection and cohort operations: where the hours go, where quality leaks, what to automate first. You get the roadmap whether or not we build together.
A scoped, milestone-based build — typically 3 to 8 weeks depending on program complexity. Working system, your team trained, documentation handed over.
Optional ongoing support through your next intake: analytics, iteration, and adjustments as the program evolves. Month to month, no lock-in.
I ran operations and automation at Iterative, the YC-style accelerator for Southeast Asia — application triage through investment decisions through demo day. Orbit is the program layer I wished existed.
I work with multiple programs and never share data, metrics, or dealflow between them. A written conflicts policy governs every engagement — ask for it.
Client data stays under NDA and gets deleted on request. Custom integrations and reports built for your program belong to you.
I don't accept exclusivity clauses, and you can walk away with everything that's yours at any point.
Operating across Southeast Asia and Hong Kong, working in the timezones, languages, and program calendars you actually run on.
