Our mission
ChatLicense is there for when your child enters the online world for the first time. It’s our dream to see Chatlicense be the first app installed on every first device, like the key in the ignition: complete the game first and then go online.
When founder Marjolein gave her 10-year-old daughter her first smartphone, she expected it to be used for making plans with friends. Instead, hundreds of messages flooded the class group chat overnight (were their parents aware that their phones followed their children under the duvet?) and her daughter ended up in a digital jungle full of weird stickers, unsafe links and inappropriate photos. The phone turned out to be a toy with endless possibilities, without a manual and constantly fighting for attention. There had to be a better way.
Our learning method is rooted in research from Erasmus University. We work together with (international) organizations such as Rutgers, Trimbos, Mediawijs.be, Veiliginternetten.nl and Offlimits.
We also receive input from an active community of parents, children and various experts to ensure that ChatLicense continues to resonate with the experience of families.
