About COSMO
COSMO Technologies is a Denver-based, venture-backed family tech company on a mission to bring families closer together. We're passionate about building better solutions that keep kids safe and families connected.
COSMO was founded in 2020; since then we've become a leading company designing and manufacturing electronic devices and software solutions specifically for kids and families, like our award winning COSMO JrTrack kids smart watch. We’re dedicated to building a better future and giving families connection, safety, and peace of mind.
Today, there’s a growing crisis for families and kids when it comes to technology. In an all-or-nothing world built on addictive algorithms and endless scrolling, kids are the victims. From mental health concerns to explicit content and cyberbullying, it's too much, too fast for kids.
It's not enough to rely on band-aid solutions like screen time limits or flimsy parental controls. Families need a new ecosystem of devices and software built specifically for the unique needs of kids & parents; a step-by-step approach for raising kids in a digital world.
That’s what we call #BetterTech: a simpler, smarter, more thoughtful kind of technology that helps protect kids, empower parents, prioritize privacy, and support families.
We'd love for you to join the mission! We’re building an amazing team of passionate parents, advocates, educators, and more. Want to join us and help more families discover safer connection for kids? Visit our Join the Mission page to learn more about our COSMO Advocates affiliate program and how you can earn by spreading the word.
We also love partnering with schools, nonprofits, churches, or any other types of groups. Whether its free training seminars, special offers, giveaways, or something else, we'd love to hear from you!
We’re thrilled that the story and mission of #bettertech for families is spreading! COSMO has been reviewed as a best kids smartwatch by Safewise, Fatherly, and Smartwatches.org to name a few. We’ve also been featured by New York Times Wirecutter, Denver 7, Into Tomorrow, Forbes, and more.
