A note from the founders
Across our 25-year careers building learning products, we’ve seen that education’s biggest problem is how to effectively engage young learners.
We built Kinjo to bridge the gap between engagement and skill building. To help kids find and pursue valuable skills on platforms they already love.
Imagine if our kids were squeezing every drop of learning out of the devices they spend hours on.
That’s the future we are building at Kinjo.
