Orb

Modern AI companies are forcing finance teams to rethink billing infrastructure entirely. At @sanity_io, Helen Chao oversees the systems behind billing and finance operations as the company scales its usage-based business. “We deal with very high usage volumes, and when billing breaks, it impacts revenue operations and close. We needed a more stable metering and invoicing system and found that in Orb.”

At @ExtendHQ, Jordan Meyer helped build the technical foundation as one of the company’s first engineers. When the team evaluated billing infrastructure, the decision came down to speed, flexibility, and long-term leverage. “Using Orb cut our billing project from 6 months to 3 weeks.” That’s the kind of engineering mindset we love supporting.

Thanks for coming out yesterday and celebrating an early National Boba Day with us! The turnout at Feng Cha yesterday was incredible. Thank you to everyone who took a break from Stripe Sessions to come hang with us and talk billing and monetization!

Take a break from Stripe Sessions and come grab free boba on us! 🧋 We're at Feng Cha on Yerba Buena Lane today until 2pm (or while supplies last). Come find us, say hi, and recharge. See you there!

Kevin Grüneberg was @supabase's first billing engineer — now he owns the system behind 1.5M invoices/month. "The detailed invoicing Orb provides is something that a customer can understand more easily. That means less frustration for the customer and less support load for Supabase. And as we grow, that will translate into needing fewer support engineers because we can spend more time on actually billing a product rather than explaining invoices to customers." That’s how you scale billing with your product.

At @baseten, model inference at scale is just the starting point. Deepak Bhandarkar, Head of Finance, makes sure every run turns into real revenue — connecting product velocity with financial precision. We had him at Orb HQ for a fireside chat and asked how he explains Orb internally: “Orb? It’s how we make money.”

at @heyjasperai, they didn’t just scale — they rebuilt how they price. From self-serve to enterprise, billing became a strategic decision, not just infrastructure. Dakota Brown, Director of Engineering, knew the real risk wasn’t vendor cost — it was getting it wrong and living with it. → 2× faster launch → 2 months of eng time saved

Factory Co-Founder & CTO @EnoReyes is building the foundation behind Factory — autonomous AI agents for software engineering, at a moment when both the tech and the business model are still evolving. Today’s $150M Series C is a reflection of that momentum. Proud to support the @FactoryAI team 🚀

Today, @FactoryAI announced a $150M Series C — and they’re building right at the edge of where AI pricing is still being figured out. As their product evolves, so does the business model behind it. That’s where @francesca_lab comes in — keeping things flexible, transparent, and commercially sharp. Proud to support the Factory team as they scale 🚀

New York, we're coming to you🗽 Hosting a happy hour for the Orb community on April 30th — customers, operators, and anyone working at the intersection of pricing, billing, and AI. RSVP: lu.ma/orb-nyc-commun…

At @dremio, they're building the data platform enterprises are betting their AI stack on. Ryan Tse, Senior Engineering Manager, is making sure the business side scales just as fast — usage-based pricing, tight timelines, billing that can’t be the bottleneck. Grateful to partner with the Dremio team.

We held our second company value awards to close out Q1: -Customer Centricity -Minutes Matter -Run With It -Attention to Detail Congrats to all our winners! Can't wait for Q2 🚀

Pasta & Pricing with Orb 🍝 👨‍🍳 Brought together a group and learned how to make ravioli from scratch. Enjoyed a delicious dinner over great conversation with all of our guests!

Huge thanks to Dakota Brown from @heyjasperai for coming into Orb HQ last week 🙌 Dakota leads billing + pricing at Jasper and shared how their model has evolved with their shift to enterprise AI. From building an internal credit system to rolling out a new consumption model for scale, he’s been driving those decisions end to end. The insight that stuck: getting billing right early matters more than anything.

Customer fireside at Orb HQ 🔥 Deepak Bhandarkar (CFO @baseten and Maxime Petazzoni (Head of Engineering @wherobots) joined us for a fireside chat with the team. Nothing better than hearing directly from the customers building with Orb 💪

Designing billing software goes far beyond the interface. It’s about trust. In her latest post, Jo-Ann Deasis shares what it means to design systems that directly impact customer revenue — from pricing changes to invoice logic. High ownership. Deep systems thinking. Real stakes. Read the blog: withorb.com/blog/designing…

Early pricing decisions stick. On Feb 24 in SF, we’re hosting AI & infra leaders to talk about the choices around metrics, packaging, and contracts that compound over time. Join us → luma.com/orb-pricingdec…

Bringing together pricing leaders from @togethercompute, @youdotcom, @aerospikedb, and @mintlify on Feb 24th in SF. If you're working on revenue or monetization, this is the evening to block off. Live sushi bar + sake-tails provided 🍣🍶 luma.com/orb-pricingdec…
