During his research on leveraging his technical skills to tackle software-related problems, he learned about the dangers children face from financial scammers, predators and cyberbullying while playing online games. This was highlighted by a story about a girl from Philadelphia who was sexually assaulted by someone she had met online. He realized gaming and communication in online multiplayer games was a big part of the exploitation and that gaming companies lacked a solution. This motivated him to use his expertise to help protect children and, after extensive research, in 2021, his proprietary software, ProtectMe, was released.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Kidas Industry Advisory Board<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.getkidas.com\/kidas-website\/dashboard-temporary-cors-edits\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Advisory-board-Kidas-2-1024x256.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7881\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.getkidas.com\/kidas-website\/dashboard-temporary-cors-edits\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Advisory-board-Kidas-2-1024x256.png 1024w, https:\/\/dev.getkidas.com\/kidas-website\/dashboard-temporary-cors-edits\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Advisory-board-Kidas-2-300x75.png 300w, https:\/\/dev.getkidas.com\/kidas-website\/dashboard-temporary-cors-edits\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Advisory-board-Kidas-2-768x192.png 768w, https:\/\/dev.getkidas.com\/kidas-website\/dashboard-temporary-cors-edits\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Advisory-board-Kidas-2-1536x384.png 1536w, https:\/\/dev.getkidas.com\/kidas-website\/dashboard-temporary-cors-edits\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Advisory-board-Kidas-2-1200x300.png 1200w, https:\/\/dev.getkidas.com\/kidas-website\/dashboard-temporary-cors-edits\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Advisory-board-Kidas-2.png 1584w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-11\">\n<p style=\"font-size:10px\"><strong>Uri Marchand<\/strong>          CEO &amp; Co-Founder, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.overwolf.com\/\">Overwolf <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:10px\"><strong>Ujesh Desai<\/strong>               VP &amp; GM, Gaming at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.logitech.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Logitech<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:10px\"><strong>Eric Ries<\/strong>                         Founder of LTSE &amp; author of <a href=\"https:\/\/theleanstartup.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Lean Startup<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:10px\"><strong>Ryan Toohil <\/strong> CTO, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aura.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Aura<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:10px\"><strong>Bharath Madhusudan<\/strong>  CEO &amp; Co-Founder, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.securly.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Securly<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-larger-font-size\">Scientific Advisory Board<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-14\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-4cff4875813436033f991dfd3060773d is-layout-flow\" style=\"color:#000000;background-color:#ffe97d00;padding-top:2em;padding-right:2em;padding-bottom:2em;padding-left:2em\">\n<p style=\"font-size:40px\">Tracy Waasdorp<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tracy Evian Waasdorp, PhD, MS.Ed, is a Research Assistant Professor in Psychiatry at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and Senior Research Scientist and Scholar for the Center for Violence Prevention at Children\u2019s Hospital of Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-586d78e0ddb94aae88aee5ae6e2f8e06 is-layout-flow\" style=\"color:#000000;background-color:#d1d1e000;padding-top:2em;padding-right:2em;padding-bottom:2em;padding-left:2em\">\n<p style=\"font-size:40px\">Christine Waanders<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christine Waanders is a licensed psychologist who has developed expertise in bullying and relational aggression through her involvement with a renowned research team at Children\u2019s Hospital of Philadelphia, developing school-based aggression and bullying prevention programs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Kidas?
