A real problem.
No existing solution.
A $240M market.
Qorbit Systems is seeking seed investment to take Qorbit Core from early validation to first production run. We are building a focused recovery and flight-operations product for consumer rocketry.
Hardware + SaaS. Two durable streams.
Qorbit pairs one-time hardware revenue with a recurring SaaS platform, creating predictable ARR alongside unit sales. Schools purchasing bulk packs on PO billing are particularly high-value accounts.
- Hardware: $89/unit retail, $65 at 10+ units (school bulk)
- SaaS: $9.99/mo Pro, $1,500/9-mo school plans
- 500 units Year 1 = ~$44K hardware revenue
- 100 Pro subscriptions = ~$12K ARR software
- Year 2 target: 2,000 units + $50K ARR SaaS
Comparable categories proved the demand.
Niche hardware categories in rocketry have already shown that a focused technical product can become a durable business with the right audience and distribution.
Qorbit is positioned around a similarly clear operational need, with the added leverage of a software layer for teams and programs.
Roadmap
Early product validation, customer discovery, and launch-market positioning.
Flight testing, design iteration, and waitlist growth through launch content and direct outreach.
Production preparation, first batch planning, and platform beta rollout.
Scale school and club sales, expand platform usage, and raise a seed round.
