Who’s behind Orbia World

Jansi Rautenbach

Co-founder • Family life & product

Jansi brings the “real home” side of Orbia World. She’s a hands-on mum who understands what day-to-day learning actually looks like — the beautiful chaos, the meaningful moments, and the reality that admin often steals time from what matters. She helps shape Orbia World to be simple, human, and genuinely supportive for families.

Ruaan Rautenbach

Co-founder • Engineering & platform

Ruaan is a family man, a dad, and an open-minded problem solver. He’s an electronic engineer by trade, and over the past few years, he has focused on custom website development — especially membership portals and systems that securely handle structured information with reliability and care.

Built in New Zealand by a homeschooling family — practical, and designed for real days.

Our values

Our values are simple: family-first, practical, and respectful.

In practice, that means

Parents know their kids best

Orbia World supports your judgment and does not replace it. You choose what matters and how it’s described.

Admin should stay light

Logging should fit into real life — quick to capture, easy to find later, and ready when you need it.

Real life is real learning

Learning happens in kitchens, gardens, libraries, workshops, and conversations — not only at a desk.

Trust and privacy matter

Your family’s learning story belongs to you. Your data isn’t sold, and you stay in control.
