uKnow.com

Seed Round in 2011
uKnow powers smart tools that connect and protect digital families. Fueled by the rapid adoption of social networks and smart phones, people of all ages are joining the ranks of Internet users. With increased Internet usage and social sharing, families find themselves struggling with the age-old issues of privacy, security, and reputation—only these are now digital concerns that are potentially more prevalent and dangerous. Whether it’s a parent concerned about the photos their teen is sharing online; a corporate climber worried about his brother-in-law’s social rants adversely affecting his reputation; or an elderly couple concerned about having their online identities “spoofed”; new privacy, safety, and reputation solutions are sorely needed to help all members of the digital family. uKnow is tackling this opportunity by creating the world’s first digital family protection platform that powers solutions in two high-growth categories, Parental Intelligence and Social Identity Protection. The platform, branded uKnowConnect, powers the company’s two direct to consumer offerings, uKnowKids (Parental Intelligence) and uKnowID (Social Identity Protection) and it enables web-based and mobile applications for leading Identity Theft, Desktop Security, Cable & Telecom and other service providers. uKnowKids enables parents to keep pace with their children’s digital lives and to learn from expert digital parenting advice and information. In August the company will be releasing uKnowID (think of it as “Lifelock for your social identity”) to increase the awareness of, and reduce the damage from, social account takeovers, reputational risk from your network, and predatory identity spoofing.
