Orcas is a Cairo-based online marketplace for babysitters and tutors. Founded in 2013 by Hossam Taher, Amira El Gharib, Omar Fayez and Ahmed Ismail, Orcas (previously known as CairoSitters) initially started with a simple booklet that the four co-founders used to distribute among parents who were their target customers. The four had pooled in $1,000 initially to start the business. The booklet was created after Orcas had registered a decent number of registered babysitters and tutors who work with them.
