A Gabb phone or watch — which has the capability to text and place calls — was made to keep kids in communication with their parents or guardians and friends. CEO Nate Randle said a piece of Gabb tech is less about any features that were added to it and more about which features were left off.
CEO Nate Randle says the company’s phones and watches shield children from experiencing too much technology.
That’s why the Utah company created a kid- and teen-safe smartwatch and smartphone designed to protect young people by shielding them from experiencing too much technology too early. Gabb is also about keeping its employees safe by having a zero tolerance policy for toxic or abusive behavior, and brings a focus on family and community to its workplace as well.First, a parent has to have an open relationship with their child, as well as an open conversation about technology with him or her. Second, the child has to have those things with their parent. Gabb is at the third point of the triangle, “helping to deliver the safe solution,” he said.
“Most kids unfiltered will tell you that their phone makes them feel depressed,” Randle said. “It makes them feel left out. It makes them feel behind, it makes them feel less than. And so our mission is to give kids hope. And to give kids an opportunity to realize ... you can use tech in a healthy and positive way.”
Instead of going through a counseling process or finding a way to work with that person, Gabb has zero tolerance for such behavior, Randle said. Gabb’s focus on being family-friendly is reflected in their policies as well. Whatever your family structure, “family comes first,” Randle said.
