SafeToNet develops software that safeguards children from online risks such as cyberbullying, grooming, sextortion and abuse by identifying and disabling individual apps on iOS and Android devices. Its technology combines artificial intelligence, natural language processing and device-management capabilities and is described as patent-protected. The company plans to use new funding to increase the market potential of its cyber-safety filtering services, enhance development of its AI harm-detection software and expand into new territories. SafeToNet recently acquired Visr, a Toronto-based business that uses AI to detect the emotional well-being of children online, which the company says will broaden its IP into health and well-being. Led by CEO Richard Pursey, SafeToNet is a member of the London Stock Exchange Elite Programme and maintains offices in London, Cologne and Toronto. The company raised $13M in a Series A to support these initiatives.
