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. From concerns over mental health, childhood developmental, explicit content, cyberbullying, and more, kids are being exposed to addictive and manipulative devices and platforms at earlier and earlier ages. Parents and caregivers often simply need ways to stay connected with kids, but now “connection” comes with so much more.The problem is that families simply haven't had the right step-by-step solutions to help kids grow and thrive in our digital world. That's why we're building an entirely new kind of technology from the ground up, designed specifically for the unique needs of kids and parents. That’s #BetterTech: a simpler, smarter, more thoughtful kind of technology that helps keep kids safe and families connected.
We'd love for you to join our cause! We’re building an amazing team of passionate parents, advocates, educators, and more. Want to join us and help safely connect kids & families? Visit our Join the Mission page to learn more about our COSMO Advocates affiliate program and how you can earn income by spreading the word. We also love hearing from schools, churches, and other types of groups to explore partnerships of all kinds!
We’re thrilled that the story and mission of #bettertech for families is spreading! COSMO has been featured as a best product in Safewise, Fatherly, Smartwatches.org. We’ve also been featured in New York Times Wirecutter, Denver 7, Into Tomorrow, Forbes, and more.
