1 year ago Clearspace got the two biggest nods in company history back-to-back: a shoutout on Huberman, an article in the New York Times.
Oli and I felt like the category we had been coaxing into existence was finally landing in the zeitgeist. The path to a really strong business was clear.
But we had both noticed somethingā¦we sat down one day at the height of our first productās success and agreed that we had to open door 2. Let me explain:
You see parents had been asking us consistently for something since the first day of the company. Help protecting their kids attention. But we never thought it was viable until gradually then all at once that changed because, well agents.
You see the problem with Apple and other parental control apps is that they basically require an engineering degree to set up and itās a full time job to make sure your kid hasnāt found a work around.
Adding every possible website that a kid might use to a black list or white list is a never ending task.
But telling an agent āno gaming after 9pmā is a text. A text that on demand intelligence can translate into a dynamic filter.
When agents came fully into play Oliver and I could no longer ignore that it was time to save the kids and build the intentionality layer of the internet.
A dynamic and intelligent system for curating a healthy digital environment on every device your child uses.
This week we are opening up access to Clearspace Family for a select number of families with kids between the ages of 8-16 who use iPads or iPhones.
If youāre a parent struggling in the Apple ecosystem trying to raise a human, not a user weād love to hear from you. You can apply here: http://clearspace.org/application
If youāre an aunt/uncle/grandparent/friend/teacher/coach to a device-age kid send this along - believe me that parent will thank you.
