Haiven: AI Protection for Young Gamers
About this episode
Luke & Jen Ritchie sold three companies and built games for Pokémon GO and Barbie. Now these married founders are tackling a darker problem—protecting kids from the predators and bullies lurking in the in-game chat. But will the VCs back Haiven when its business model has yet to be tested?
This is The Pitch for Haiven. Featuring investors Charles Hudson, Ellie Bahrmasel, Elizabeth Galbut, Jeff Cantalupo, and Mike Ma.
