Final Notes
We believe that potential and grit outshine traditional education and pedigree in the long run.
We are not here for a short-term win.
We are here to fundamentally change the way that parents and children experience technology together.
We believe that parents should not feel so afraid when they think about giving their child a smartphone with access to social media.
We believe that parents shouldn't control or limit children's exploration.
We believe that no company should create tools that place judgments on how parents parent.
And we believe that mindfulness about technology use and activity can eradicate the endemic of mental health issues in young kids correlated to social media and internet access.
If that is something that excites you, come row the boat with us.
We're rowing to the peak of Mt.
Everest together.
