For founders
You run three things. Orca runs the operational layer of each.
Inbox triage, follow-ups, prep notes, calendar hygiene, market intelligence. Across every business you run. So you spend the day on the work that needs the founder.
Chris built Orca because he runs three businesses simultaneously: Enterprise Skills, the OMG Center, and Huxley Advisory. He wrote The Next Rung, a working framework for how AI changes professional labour, and then built the tool he wished he had while writing it. Orca is not a product designed in the abstract. It is the answer to the question: what would a founder who understands AI actually build for himself?
If you are running multiple businesses, you already know what the problem is. Context-switching. The 11pm catch-up session. The mental load of keeping all three sets of relationships, commitments, and conversations in your head at once. Orca removes the operational layer so you can focus on the work that cannot be delegated: the judgement calls, the relationships, the strategy.
A Tuesday morning when you run three businesses
Three businesses, two boards, one product launch this quarter.
By 08:30 your daily briefing covers all three ventures: the commitments for today, the overnight emails worth your attention, and the meeting at 10 already prepped with everything you need to walk in sharp.
Last week's follow-ups have gone out, in your voice, signed off by you. The calendar conflict on Thursday has been resolved, politely, with three alternative times already suggested. You have not opened your inbox yet. You have not had to.
That is not a theoretical future. That is what running Orca across three businesses looks like from Tuesday morning.
What Orca does for founders
Five capabilities that matter when you are the only person keeping all the plates spinning.
What it replaces
Not tools. Tasks. The things you currently do yourself because there is nobody else to do them.
- A PA. The person who would have handled the inbox, chased the follow-ups, and prepped the briefs.
- A junior chief of staff. The role you cannot afford to hire for three businesses at once.
- The mental load of running it all. Knowing which thread went quiet. Remembering what you promised and to whom.
- The 11pm catch-up session. The late-night context assembly before a morning meeting.
- The context-switching tax. Losing the thread on one business while you are deep in another.
What it costs
Orca is a managed service, not a SaaS subscription. It is configured around how you work, who you know, and what you run. One setup cost, then a monthly fee that covers everything.
Before we sell you anything, run the diagnostic. Eight minutes. It tells you what AI can and cannot do for how you work right now.
No sales pitch. No obligation. Just a conversation about how you work across your businesses and whether Orca makes sense.
