In the making
Is the person you’re talking to really who they say they are?
Weirdo is our idea of grooming and fraud prevention that kids actually want to use. We’re building it in the open, and you can follow along.

There’s a gap in online safety for kids
Before
Knowledge
Parents get courses, guides, and lectures on how to protect kids online.
The gap
This is where it happens
The place where incidents should be prevented: in the moment, in the chat. There’s nothing there. A dangerous gap.
After
Support
When something has already happened, there’s help and support.
Weirdo wants to fill that gap. With something kids actually want to use, not just something adults think they should use.
How we think
A tool for kids, not just parents
Protection that kids work around helps no one. It has to be easy, fast and not embarrassing to use.
Prevent in the moment
The focus is on the moment a stranger wants to become a friend, not on advice afterwards.
Built in the open
We share the process as we build and let those who sign up influence the direction.
