Voop is building a healthier digital society, helping people live well with technology, not under it.
About Voop
Awareness has never been higher about the damage smartphones can do to young people, yet almost no one is fixing it.
Voop is building the platform that does. By combining smart safeguarding features, real-time risk detection and tools that adapt to each person's needs, Voop gives parents, carers and governments the ability to protect without over-restricting — all on the devices that children and adults already use and love.
Our first product is live with leading care providers, protecting thousands of vulnerable children in the UK.
Backed by leading global investors and built by a world-class team of engineers, designers, and safeguarding experts, Voop is tackling one of the defining challenges of our time: creating a safer digital future at massive scale.
Why Voop
- Mission that matters: Build technology that protects the most vulnerable people first, then everyone.
- Massive opportunity: Live with thousands of users across UK care, expanding into the US, with a growing institutional and government pipeline.
- World-class team: Alumni from Google, Accenture, Vodafone, Barnardo’s, and law enforcement.
- Top-tier backing: Supported by global funds committed to fixing smartphones for good.
