Calypso Curate, Inc. is a Tulsa, Oklahoma company building a video content curation platform for families. The product lets parents assemble approved video libraries for each child that draw from mainstream streaming services such as YouTube and Netflix, and restricts viewing to only what has been pre-approved. Each family member gets a password-protected profile with a personalized library, and the player has no autoplay and no algorithmic recommendations. The company is pre-launch and operating a waitlist.
What sets it apart
Unlike YouTube Kids or a streaming service's built-in parental controls, Calypso works as an independent opt-in filtering layer across multiple platforms and starts from a blank slate the parent fills in, so nothing is recommended or autoplayed that the parent did not choose.
