Business networking, done better

Orb networking members are established business owners and professionals.

We meet fortnightly for structured networking, respecting our members' time. We share advice and learn from each other through actionable education sessions.

Fortnightly structured networking

Groups of 18–40 carefully selected business owners and professionals who value long-term growth.
Each group meets once a fortnight for a 90 minute structured meeting.

Here's what you can expect from a meeting:

Open networking to connect, share, and build relationships
Practical business education
Pitches from each member
Member spotlights
Each month we have a Focus Topic where members share their experience and support other members

... And outside the meeting:

Each member receives a professional bio listing in the website online directory, creating referral opportunities outside the group. These are designed for SEO, AEO and for conversion, so are a great addition to your online profile.

What Makes Orb Different

Future proof your business

Running a business can feel isolating. You’re responsible for sales, growth, reputation... you're responsible for everything.

You might have tried networking before and found that some groups feel transactional, and some feel forced. On the other side, some groups take up too much time for too little return.

We know you don’t want awkward pressure to refer people you don't rate. You want genuine connections and quality leads. You want a room full of experienced professionals you’d happily introduce to your best clients.

Meet the team

Kia ora, I'm Lucy, the founder of Orb Networking, and I've built a successful business, mostly through networking. I know it works (and I love it!). But after 5 years of networking, I've seen existing networking groups failing so many of their members. I created Orb to link busy, successful business owners who want results.
