What problem(s) do you aim to solve?

Every year 150 million kids get their first smartphone.  As a society we know the issues that come along with it – such as cyberbullying, addiction, self-harm, cybercrime and more. In many cases, both kids and their parents are still drowning in the digital deep. The parent trap is a worldwide issue, there is a demand for change. But the default solution by society now is giving the smartphone later and restricting or controlling the use. Based on scientific research we know that the educational part is missing. Because none of these limiting actions are tackling the root cause: we must empower this next generation to make sure they can deal with whatever comes along. We must educate them and teach them the right skill set to give them a better start.

Why is/are your solution(s) special?

The focus of better usage of a smartphone is now mainly restriction and controlling. Based on scientific research of EUR the educational part is missing. Our secret sauce is a learning method based on this research working as a ‘driver’s license’ for that first smartphone. With this we not only educate kids & parents, we also gain insights in mental fitness and digital resilience of an entire generation. Our ambition: leverage this data as a force of tech for good for research advancing humanity.
