Open source projects allow early adopters of a technology to experiment, to contribute code and feedback, and to shape the evolution of the project in its early stages. When a \u201ccommunity maintainer\u201d company emerges to provide service offerings based on that project, its early customer base often consists of contributors to the open source project who already have experience with the technology, but want a more fully featured offering.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Orbit is a \u201ccommunity experience platform\u201d that provides insights on activity for open-source and proprietary products. Orbit is founded on the \u201cOrbit Model,\u201d which it describes as a \u201cframework for building high-gravity communities\u201d- that is, developer communities with passionate and engaged contributors. The Orbit Model is offered as an alternative to traditional sales and marketing funnels that gives a focus on cultivating early adopters for a project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patrick Woods and Josh Dzielak are the co-founders of Orbit.
