Voop is building the global child-safe phone network — protecting millions of children and adults from digital harm.

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 world’s first safe mobile platform — a new kind of network that replaces traditional telcos and installs intelligent protection on any smartphone.

By combining network-level controls , device-integrated safeguarding software , and AI-powered risk detection , Voop gives parents, carers, schools, and governments the ability to protect without over-restricting — all on the devices that children and adults already use and love.

Our first product, Voop for Care , is live with leading care providers, protecting thousands of vulnerable children in the UK. Next, we’re expanding into consumer markets to make digital safety the default, not the exception.

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.
