Our mission: help parents raise resilient, confident kids in a changing world. We’ve already reached millions, and we’re just getting started.  We’re refining our product and expanding our reach to empower even more families.

We’re looking for bold, high-ownership problem-solvers who want to build something new, tackle big challenges, and be at the forefront of change.
