Origins of FamilyConnect.net™, a service of uKnow.com, Inc.

Tim Woda had worked for years at buySAFE, an Internet trust and safety company, helping to protect consumers from poor online shopping experiences. But when one of his own children was targeted of an Internet child predator, it was a wakeup call. While his child was not harmed, it forced Woda to think about ways to prevent the new technologies kids use, such as social networking and mobile phones, from opening doors to such risks.

The concept of uKnow.com, Inc. was born in June of 2009.  Joined by his brother Steve Woda, founder of buySAFE, and a talented team of entrepreneurs and technologists, development began on the world’s first Parental Intelligence System that would leverage the team’s tremendous knowledge of Internet security and risk management.

By 2010 the team developed its first online service that makes it easier for parents to connect to their child’s digital world. uKnow.com quickly set the standard for the industry by developing the world’s first and only Parental Intelligence platform — FamilyConnect.net™. Today, uKnow.com partners, affiliates and independent representatives deliver a wide variety of social, mobile and location monitoring solutions to their own customers using our technology.
