Thank you, Nicole! Hi there, This is Stephen, the founder & CEO of Fennec. I am a parent, and I love kids. So I decided to do something beneficial for kids. We interviewed hundreds of parents, and we noticed that 8~12-year-old kids have strong social needs. They want to talk to their friends and connect with their families. But the problem is that there are not many proper social platforms for kids. Existing platforms are not designed for children. There are many inappropriate contents and even predators on the internet. That's why I created Fennec Messenger - an instant messaging app that's fun and safe for kids, family and friends. It's equipped with many parental control features that can keep your child safe. We also found that kids at this age do not have a proper smart device for communication. Many parents hesitate to give their child a smartphone, because they may spend too much time on it. So we created Fennec Watch. It does not have Youtube or Instagram, and parents can configure allowed gaming times. So it helps to reduce your child’s screen time they may spend on the smartphone. By offering Fennec Messenger & Fennec Watch, we hope to provide a solution that helps kids safely connect to the world, and keep family members close, no matter where they are. Thank you. Should you have any questions, please let me know. Stephen
