Founder, CEO at The Orbit | On a mission to help 1000+ companies become global by scaling partnership ecosystems | Building next-gen PRM platform | Stanford Acceleration Program Alum

Hey there! I'm Max, founder and CEO of Orbit, where we unlock the potential of B2B tech companies by striking strategic partnerships in exciting new markets.

My passion for entrepreneurship and exploring the world has taken me on a journey across various countries, immersing myself in diverse cultures and business landscapes. These experiences have taught me the true power of indirect sales channels in achieving success across borders.

Throughout my career, I've tackled numerous entrepreneurial projects, including founding a startup studio called Focus, specializing in development, research, and design. I also had an insightful stint at Deloitte as an auditor. The common thread? The undeniable impact of strong partnerships.

Inspired by these experiences, I created Orbit — a platform connecting B2B tech businesses with industry partners in emerging markets like India, Indonesia, LATAM, MENA, and beyond. Our unique ecosystem boasts 250+ affiliate, referral, and reseller partners, helping entrepreneurs harness the power of indirect sales, speed up time to market, and broaden their horizons.

Orbit has experienced rapid growth, attracting angel investors from TMT Investments, Miro, and four other outstanding professionals and working with alumni clients of Stanford, Google Ventures, and Alchemist. My achievements as a top founder led me to participate in a prestigious acceleration program led by Stanford professor Bret Waters.

In 2022, I embarked on a new adventure by moving my family to Bangalore, India's IT hub, to launch Orbit and immerse myself in the local culture. This bold move reinforced my dedication to fostering international collaboration and empowering entrepreneurs worldwide.

Outside the boardroom, I'm a proud dad to two amazing daughters, a yoga enthusiast, and an adventure-seeker with a passion for mountaineering and paragliding.

I love connecting with new people and learning from their unique experiences. So, let's chat and uncover exciting opportunities together! Reach out to me at max@theorbit.me.

Hey, I’m Olivia Deka - I work across the venture ecosystem with founders, funds, and LPs - to turn relationships into capital outcomes. My focus is early-stage, where deal flow, co-investors, and credible positioning matter most.

Over the past decade, I’ve built a career that cuts across nonprofits, startups, venture platforms, and advisory. From founding a social impact organisation that scaled across India & EMEA, to operating inside startups, to building global partnerships with VCs, Founders, and ecosystem enablers - each step has shaped how I now work with capital allocators and founders.

Currently, I split my time between:
	•	Working w VC funds and the larger ecosystem on bridging gaps across - Startegy & ops, fundraising and ecosystem positioning
	•	Supporting founders with deal readiness, capital introductions, and investor communications
	•	Running The Capital Room, a platform convening women investors and emerging women managers
	•	Championing ecosystem evangelism through events, thought partnerships, and cross-border community building

What I bring is breadth of network and depth of trust. I don’t limit myself to one sector or geography; instead, I specialise in building capital pathways - between Global South founders and global investors, between LPs and new managers, between startups and growth enablers.

I move fluidly across industries and geographies while keeping focus on one outcome - helping the right people, funds, and companies connect and grow.

Always open to conversations with ambitious founders, thoughtful funds, and anyone building the future of capital.
