Orbiri raises £320k in angel funding to launch its community-based screen time management platform.
The oversubscribed angel round attracted 14 investors and will support trial phases ahead of a formal product launch.
Orbiri builds technology that coordinates children, parents and schools around shared digital boundaries. The platform tackles childhood screen time by turning collective peer groups into an aligned support network.
London-based technology startup Orbiri has secured £320k in angel funding from 14 individual investors. The oversubscribed round closed on 4 July and follows an earlier £45k seed injection. The new capital will finance upcoming trial phases, product development, compliance certifications and team expansion ahead of a wider rollout next year.
The company seeks to address the friction of managing children device use by providing a platform that unites families, friends and schools under shared digital limits. Rather than relying on isolated parental controls or strict bans, the system aims to transform peer pressure into a collaborative tool for healthier digital habits.
From the founder
"Every parent knows the feeling of being stuck in daily device battles – you set the rules for your child but their friends don’t have any, so suddenly you’re the mean parent. But I know from experience with my own children and their screen time that these rules are absolutely essential not just to preserve the conditions necessary for healthy childhood development, but to teach them good digital habits that’ll protect them while they’re online. That’s ultimately why I left a career in consulting to found Orbiri. I genuinely believe that you can’t win as a parent acting alone – we’re facing a systemic challenge that requires collective action."
