A note from the parent who is building Troo

A note from the parent who is building Troo

In a world where our children are growing up surrounded by devices, it is hard not to feel concerned as a parent that they are missing out on the other simple joys of childhood, deep social connections, shared laughter, and the beauty of everyday life.

As a mom of two, I feel this deeply. I want my children to grow up to be creative and curious individuals who are empathetic, connected to the real world, and cherish moments with family and friends.

The story behind Troo

The story behind Troo

As an engineer and a product builder, I believe there is a way for children to interact with enriching and mindful technology that goes beyond passive consumption and mindless scrolling—a solution that is not all-immersive but interactive and reflective, truly nurturing the "whole child" and intrinsically motivating them to be curious. After over a year of research, collaboration with leading experts in neuroscience, child developmental psychology, and educators, and testing with hundreds of parents and children, we created Troo (previously known as Yeti, My Friend). 

Troo is NOT just another app – Troo bridges the gap between the child and real-world experiences. Troo is a gentle guide and a friend, helping children explore their creativity, dive into the wonders of our world, and learn to pause when it’s time to step away. With Troo, screen time becomes purposeful, sparking curiosity and reflection and building confidence in children, making it guilt-free and value-additive for parents.

Our mission is simple, and our vision goes beyond tech. It’s about nurturing the whole child—helping them find joy and balance in the digital age and unlock their limitless potential. When children find harmony with technology, they can experience all the richness of life, one moment at a time.

Building Troo is my excuse to finally make a screen that doesn't just hypnotize kids...it teaches them too. Take that, goofy pet videos!

Troo helps kids learn and have fun with many activities while keeping screen time balanced. I’m excited to build something that makes kids curious and happy to explore.
