The Safest Social For the Next Gen
Zigazoo is kidSAFE COPPA certified, human-moderated, and cares about the well-being of kids and teens. We're the pioneer and leader in safe social media for kids and teens.
Safety by Design
Two-thirds of kids and teens report using social media. We believe that they deserve an environment specifically designed to keep them safe.
Kids & Teens Community
Verified with world-leading age assurance technology to ensure a safe environment.
100% Screened Content
All media is screened for developmental appropriateness with a stringent human-in-the-loop moderation process.
Positivity Focused
100% of interactivity features are educationally designed to promote positivity and build confidence.
No Text Messaging
Kids and teens connect through video and creative content, not private text chats.
Wellness by Design
Appropriate peer-based social media use can provide kids and teens with access to community and support, opportunity for creativity, and a place to learn the skills for healthier social media use in their future.
- Project- and play-based learning models that encourage creative, active, and authentic posts
- Community agreements that hold kids and teens accountable for kind, appropriate, and positive behavior
- Moderated content and communication that protects kids and teens and their innocence
- Kids and teens are empowered as community leaders to support the positive and safe tone of the platform
- Education for parents and families about digital citizenship and digital wellness
Founded by Educators
Zak & Leah Ringelstein
Co-Founders
Zigazoo was founded by two American public school teachers and parents during the pandemic as an outlet for kids and teens to nurture creativity and build authentic relationships with their peers.
Built on the tenets of play-based and project-based learning, Zigazoo is designed to bring kids and teens ONLY the best of what social media has to offer.
We've had the privilege of partnering with dozens of blue-chip brands including Amazon, Netflix, GAP, Penguin Random House, Apple TV, and Sony. We've also brought on investors including the NBA and Serena Williams' Serena Ventures.
