It’s no coincidence the Orion Growth logo is a series of intertwined circles. Back in 2009 when we designed it - the purpose of the company was to break down the vertical silos of commercial real estate and introduce circular, regenerative thinking to a traditional, linear process. We were slightly ahead of the market, but things have taken off lately. It turns out that circular processes and sustainable design mean something now. Circularity is becoming a regulatory requirement for our large...
Orion GrowthSingle-Point of Failure
Failure is inevitable. Failure is a requirement for learning. Embrace failure, because it’s going to happen. In fact, the failure is often systemic and is generally caused by or impacted by a much larger subset of consequences. Most institutions have fostered a culture that sees failure as inherently bad. However, they are essential to growth, and recognizing their value can be key to future success. We learn from the valley, not the peak. Anatomy of a failure: It’s safe to say that all failu...
Orion GrowthIT's complicated
Those who choose to practice technology and innovation see it. Advancements in chipsets and compute power will jettison us to next-level processing. The shift from central, to graphical has moved to neural. It feels fast because it is fast. We’ve never had more ability to ‘do’ than now. This is when we, as humans, give that speed the direction it needs. This is where speed turns into velocity - and we influence the intended outcome. This is a phase change. With most innovation, our new abilit...
Persevering along the path of regenerative leadership, open innovation, and dynamic team building. Aspiring to make the words make sense.

we’ve been at this whole ‘future’ thing for a while. since 1985 for most of us here at Orion. none of this is new.
along the bumpy road of entrepreneurship, founders and the beautiful people who choose to work at startups are constantly reminded of the risk around their work. factors include our risk-averse culture, negativity bias, and a genuine misunderstanding of the product or service being created & offered. if it was out there, proven to the world, you wouldn’t be creating it.
in a single word: perspective
to a person who chooses analog work, is consumed by administrative tasks, or works for an archaic organization, the future is far off. they have legacy support issues, overblown budgets, and people jumping ship. it’s hard to see the future when you’re putting out 🔥.
to a full-stack developer, a computer vision engineer, or an entrepreneur rethinking how people will work, the future is the daily focus, and the technology leapfrog is their friend. 🐸 in many ways, tomorrow is today.
there is no such thing. too far out is simply a nay-say response you get when you have a lofty idea that will take a long time to MAKE MONEY. this response generally originates from people who don’t understand the time aspect behind Moore’s Law. (1) compute power is exponential, (2) the cost is reducing, which (3) results in some tech being absolutely new without any traditional precedents.
new tech that has no precedent - it’s not a simple iteration - it’s actually new. 🐣
just yesterday, a company called GitLab launched a new product called TeamOps. it’s a platform that takes all the traditional issues associated with work teams and creates a virtual environment that helps bring people together to make better decisions and improve execution. they don’t stop there though - they’re also bringing culture, data, empowerment, and technocracy to the table. as someone said in one of the Purposeful Intent roundtables in Toronto this week, they’re vibrating at their own frequency. as one of the best examples of a remote-first organization, GitLab is sharing how they work with whom they work. better together. 🔮
to all those out there who are building - keep building. keep important society concepts like interoperability, open-source, and decentralization front of mind. your kid’s future depends on it - a future that’s closer than we think.
