About Tandem
Big tech doesn’t understand children’s development. We do.
We’re a team of academics, doctors and psychologists who realised children’s first interactions with tech are too important to leave to Big Tech.
Decades of research in child development, public health and AI
Backed by partnerships with institutions like nesta and Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, we built the technology we wished existed for our own kids: safe, ethical, and grounded in real science. So we’ll bring the PhDs. All you need to bring are the pyjamas.
A person reads every book before it is printed
Each story is built around one child: their name, where they live, the thing they are obsessed with this month. The words and the pictures are made for them rather than swapped into a template. And nothing goes to the printer until one of us has read it.
