Meet the team bringing Kinoo to life
Kinoo is on a mission to create the best possible future for children, their families, and our world.

Understanding the importance of intergenerational connection, we are reinventing the way grandkids and their grandparents virtually visit. Forget awkward video chat. Kinoo is video play!
