Orbital Members enjoying a nice meal together.
We're coming to the end of a cycle with many long-standing members in transition, and so weāre now seeking new individual members for the first quarter of 2018 (weāre flexible on exact start date).
If youāre interested, please read through our Code of Conduct, and then submit your application by end-of-day Monday, February 26.
We may reach out for a short chat if we'd like more information. We'll notify everyone of their status by Monday, March 5th.
Orbital NYC is a collective workspace home to a multi-disciplinary community of creators.
Weāre located in the Lower East Side at 155 Rivington Street, an historic 6,000 square foot space split across 3 separate floors. Here are some photos of our space (though we've moved a few things around since these were taken).
We have high-speed Spectrum Business Class (300 Mbps down / 20 Mbps up), reservable conference rooms, and access to great lunch and coffee options in the neighborhood.
This round, weāre considering individuals and not groups of people.
This could include:
Because we're a shared space and community, weāre not a great fit for those who:
Some are part of a larger companyālocal or remoteāothers are freelancers or are working on independent projects; many are transitioning between industries as they figure out their next steps.
Our members are all differentāin their aspirations, strengths, challengesāand thatās part of the charm of the space.
They're all listed on our homepage and you can see/hear some of them in the playlist below.
The value of being an Orbital NYC member is more than just access to a physical spaceāit's access to a trusted community where people can feel supported in the pursuit of their aspirations.
We facilitate a variety of lightweight in-person and online opportunities for members to access advice, feedback and support from each other, when they need it, including:
Weāre continually experimenting with new programs and rituals, based on the needs of the group.
If you value being part of a community of people who are willing to give before they get, this could be the place for you.
A General Membership to Orbital NYC costs $425/month. For those who require a permanent setup, we have a limited number of Reserved Desks available for $640/month. We also offer a limited number of part-time ($150/month) or evening and weekend options ($150/quarter).
If youāre paying out-of-pocket (not as a company expense) and require financial support, we have a limited number of sliding-scale discounted memberships available.
This is more of a "looking for new roommates" situation vs. a competitive process or a "30 under 30" curatorial/content marketing campaign. We want to maintain the equilibrium and feel that we currently have, but we also want to bring in new, different people.
At a minimum, we want to be thoughtful about creating the potential for conflict or contention in the space. This could include whether a candidateās work is competitive with an existing memberās company or project. Or, whether a candidates expected usage of the space would disrupt current usage patterns, or tax some of our fixed resources, like conference rooms.
If youāre interested, please read through our Code of Conduct, and then apply by end-of-day Monday, February 26.
