GoBubble

GoBubble is a child-centered content moderation software that aims to create a safer, healthier, and kinder digital community for schools. GoBubble asserts that its technology can check all content before it appears such as text, emojis, photos, and videos. The company argues that this reduces the industry's over-reliance on traditional human moderation. The global moderation industry was valued at £3.74 billion in 2019. GoBubble aims to be a significant contender in this segment. The company has successfully launched its app in 68 countries across 1700 schools. Its new at-home child-messenger application, GoBubbleKids, is available on iOS and Android. The company has featured in publications like The Times, ITV, Evening Standard, and BBC. GoBubble has recorded a nearly 9x YTD increase in engagement and has a presence in the UK, USA, and UAE. The company will use the investment to scale its business globally.
