Listed among Fast Company’s “World Changing Ideas” for 2019, Caribu is on a family mission to end exhausting and dull Skype calls for kids and their grandparents. Named 1 of Apple’s 15 Best Apps of 2020, Caribu is the leading educational family entertainment platform for children ages 0-13 to have virtual playdates with family and friends when they can’t physically be together. Families can play games, draw, and read together in a video-call. The result is an engaging livestream shared-screen experience - in a carefully designed, curated, and secure platform. An in-app library contains thousands of books, activities, games, and coloring sheets, in 10+ languages, from leading children’s publishers like Sesame Street, Mattel, Highlights, and DC Comics.
Caribu’s proprietary video-calling technology lets long-distance families get together to paint and read bedtime stories in real time.
