About

Kinzoo builds messaging and video apps for children and families as an alternative to social media. Its mission, as chief growth officer Brittany Skolovy put it on the TechVancouver stage in May 2019, is to create secure spaces for kids and their families to stay close no matter where they are — a messenger for under-13s that doesn't compromise on privacy and safety.
