The application entitled Young Minds wants to give parents control over what their children are doing on the Internet, while protecting the privacy of their children and teaches them good online habits.
The startup was founded by Nino Dvalidz (pictured), an entrepreneur and mother of two children from Great Britain. Dvalida told Techcrunch that the idea for young minds got here from conversations with other parents who are also anxious about how to provide their children, while enabling them to access the Internet, which she admitted, is “extremely helpful in terms of education and exploration, and connections with such many people outside your direct contact zone.”
Dvalidze explained that Young Minds, which will present at the Battlefield startup in Techcrunch, disturbed 2025, has two versions: application for parents and application for children. The first of them gives some control of the latter, enabling parents to configure deadlines on the screen, limit some content, but it is impossible to monitor all communication on their children’s devices. The disturbance lasts from 27 to 29 October in San Francisco.
“We do security as a minimum foundation,” said Dvalida in a telephone conversation. “We must make sure that nothing that is intended for young eyes can reach them.”
But the application has also been designed to teach children why some content is blocked or why something is marked as dangerous. Dvalidze said that the application scans the child’s use of his tablet or phone with AI for detection and flag of probably harmful content, but the company does not store any user data. She said that oldsters can even use chatbot in the application to educate themselves about the potential risk of some pages or applications.
Young Minds is available on Android. The iOS version will be launched next week, but Dvalidze admits that due to iOS restrictions on data application they’ll access other applications, the Apple version is barely different, although with “bypasses”.
“We store some information with the consent of the parents and analyze it,” she said, referring to the circumventing they use on iOS.

When it comes to controlling time on the screen, young minds will be configured to enable certain procedures, in addition to specific modes, similar to “study mode”, which only allows educational applications, similar to large or “wind down mode”, which limits applications and use that may disturb their sleep. Parents can adapt these modes depending on the needs of their and their children.
