Company Description

A mobile software platform that connects kids safely to the people and content they love!

We are living in a connected world and kids represent an entire segment of the population that does not have a suitable solution to connect. Kids connect sporadically when they are handed an adult’s phone. This transaction is fraught with unwanted consequences - the consumption of inappropriate content, errant calls/texts/purchases, deleted content, and damaged devices. Or kids miss opportunities to connect because it’s inconvenient for an adult to disconnect themselves to connect the child. We have created a mobile software platform that connects kids safely to the people and content they love. We empower kids with their own age-appropriate mobile device and allow parents to control that device using an app on their phone to manage each child’s Individual Private Network of contacts, content and features. Parents can choose to use Yip Yap’s WiFi only device, Pipsqueak, or they can install our app on nearly any Android phone to lock it down to only the age-appropriate features available within the app. The Yip Yap app includes our ad-free YouTube player, access to Yip Yap’s WiFi calling network where no phone number is required, and more. Yip Yap is for parents who wish to introduce their kids to just the right amount of content and technology at just the right times. We’re like a tricycle is to a bicycle. Now that we've solved the problem of how to connect this unconnected user group, the opportunities to improve and monetize that connection are extraordinary.
