Kudos is designed to inspire our future athletes, artists and doodlers, young explorers, bookworms, little rockers, and computer whizzes to have the courage to express themselves, to create, to co-exist, connect and to respect one another.
Hi @shahhardik22 :-)
I agree, but the point is that they do - more than 100 million kids (5-12) is already on
Snap, Instagram and Facebook -and this is not a place for kids to learn how the real world look like - it is really not good!
And as a parent I can only tell what I do not like, but I can't stop the evolution alone - So we made a new concept, that can be very scalable and profitable without making a "bad place" for the kids. No advertising or hidden buys. And by listening and talking to hundreds of thousands of kids with our beta - we found some interesting stuff. And we are making that as we speak. You'll love it :-)

Hi @jacqvon, :-)
Kudos (started in 2014) are building a safer place, an entire ecosystem, where kids can use the power of social connections to build a more compassionate and kinder world. By enabling tools to learn and engage different we strive to fulfil our mission that is to give kids a voice, an opportunity to influence, connect to and follow people they love, know and adore.
Biggest difference from "similar" apps is: human/AI moderators 24/7 - parents are involved, NO/NEVER advertising or in-app purchases - We are focusing on building understanding of an "online life" from ground and up and are
- in addition to insight and data from hundreds of thousands of beta users Kudos will not only be a social media platform, it will be a new kind of content distribution platform .
We are still in early access, but have some very exciting things in the pipeline.
To execute our scaling and growth strategy we are a team of existing leaders and former executives from companies like Disney, Google, Dreamworks, Pixar, Stanford, Instagram, EA, Unity and more.... And I know that many people say they will change the world for the better - WE ACTUALLY WILL !!
Have a great day :)

Excellent, @ole_vidar_hestas! There's a big need for something like Kudos!
The primary concern I've heard from experts about social media + young people is that they can put an emphasis on popularity -- who gets the most likes, has the most friends, etc.
I love the design and focus on positivity. Curious if you've thought about the popular vs. unpopular concern and how to keep the Kudos community healthy in that regard?
Hi @jeff_osborn ,
Thank you so much!
I agree - that was one of my concerns as well and it was all about finding a balance and involving different methods of engagement setting popularity aside. After almost 3 ys in beta we found some really interesting stuff - this will not be a traditional Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat - I is all about listening to the users - so we are making what they want.
- did you know that an average 10 year old girl is more concerned about privacy than an average 30 yrs old? Kids are insane - cool - and totally unpredictable - we are just giving them what they really want - without messing up our safety work.
Yes, the design is great, thanks! :-) - still work in progress though - more exciting stuff in the pipeline.
Tanks for engaging, Jeff - and have a great weekend:-)
