New Orbits 2026 Accelerator brings together small, intentionally matched groups of eight peers who meet eight times from January through June 2026 to share orbit, build fellowship, and work toward individualized flight adjustments.

Fellows in New Orbits are each looking to expand something meaningful in their 2026 orbit. Each participant sets their own goals, and the group provides structure and accountability to support real progress.

Intentional Gravity draws a wide range of professionals who are working to create impact across industries, company types, and roles. We design each cohort to be well-distributed across these dimensions so participants benefit from a rich mix of experiences and perspectives.

New Orbits follows an eight meeting arc designed to build trust, foster accountability, and expand professional networks across Chicago’s tech and innovation community. Final dates and session times will be set once the cohort is selected, and tentative dates are posted on the main accelerator page. 

Applications will be reviewed and accepted on a rolling basis. Space is limited.
