Orbits Secures $2.6 Million Pre-Seed Funding for AI Household Assistant Bit
Toronto and San Francisco-based startup Orbits has raised nearly $2 million USD (about $2.6 million CAD) in pre-seed funding to scale its consumer launch of Bit, an AI household assistant designed to manage the logistics of running a home. The round was led by Andreessen Horowitz's Speedrun fund alongside N49P and Garage Capital, with additional support from angel investors including someone from Anthropic. Founded by CEO Nomaan Ahmed and CTO Erik Tillberg, Orbits aims to address an overlooked consumer need: the lack of tools for managing household logistics. Bit is designed as a unified layer that consolidates calendars, lists, and communications while executing real-world tasks like making purchases or scheduling appointments autonomously. The funding will help expand beyond early adopters, scale infrastructure, and hire key talent. Orbits' app is already available on the App Store and Google Play.
