Introducing KidsMash

What is KidsMash?

KidsMash at http://kidsmash.com is a children's internet search engine, essentially a mix between Google & Pinterest for kids.

Anyone can submit content, content is checked by our team to ensure it's safe and kids vote the content up and down.

How BIG is our market?

Kids are key influencers for household purchases.

How does KidsMash work?

KidsMash makes the internet a safer and more engaging place for children, by being provided with content from publishers (anyone can be a publisher), then content is checked by our moderators to ensure it is kids safe, finally content is voted up or down by our audience of kids.
