ML models automatically monitor business performance
Orbiter builds machine learning models that automatically monitor your business metrics. The product connects directly to your database with no engineering required and sends alerts when key metrics spike or drop unexpectedly. It helps businesses detect problems or opportunities without needing a data science team.
We live in San Francisco, CA and plan to keep the company based here after YC.
San Francisco has the talent we need and is where we live. Staying here lets us move fastest and tap into local customers and networks.
