The World project is operated by Tools for Humanity (TFH), a startup based in San Francisco and led by CEO and co-founder Alex Blania. Altman is the company’s other co-founder. ...

World’s Orbs are located at its offices and have also been deployed at partner stores around the world. ..."
The Orb or Orwellian?
