What Orbit is
Orbit is a wealth intelligence database for philanthropy and fundraising prospect research. Users can search director and shareholder records, company records, active companies, and trusts and foundations. Person searches support name, date of birth, location, company, town, city, or postcode, with area results filterable by capacity level. Orbit assigns wealth levels ranging from UHNWI and HNWI to Mass Affluent, Emerging Wealth, and Standard. Its algorithms update wealth and capacity ratings using live data when a record is viewed.
Users can create and save prospect lists, then export data. Gift capacity ratings are tailored to prospects and, according to the maker, assured by trained prospect researchers and financial analysts. Orbit also offers liquid and illiquid wealth breakdowns, company searches by factors such as financials, employees, sector, and location, and searches across trusts, foundations, charities, and individual trustees. Pyro.Solutions describes it as suitable for philanthropy professionals and nonprofits of all sizes. The service is paid, with pricing on request, and a free trial is available. Remuneration estimates may be unavailable for some foreign companies.
