A small studio

Intentional technology for real life.

We build software that answers to the people using it โ€” not the other way around. We started with the problem closest to home.

Why we exist

When her older daughter was two, our founder watched the screen turn. It began with a handful of genuinely good videos. Then the recommendation engine took over โ€” an endless reel of colored slime, toy cars, and the same loud loop, each with billions of views and nothing behind them. None of it was made for her daughter. All of it was made to keep her watching.

She and her husband went looking for an app that put them back in charge of what their child saw. They couldn't find one โ€” so they decided to build it.

That became WeKids โ€” where the parent, not an algorithm, decides.

Rashmi Basavaraju

Rashmi is an engineer, an educator, and a mother of two. She holds a Master's in Civil Engineering and taught structural analysis as university faculty โ€” before turning her attention to a different kind of structure: the one screens quietly build in young minds.

She brings an engineer's rigor and a parent's instinct to everything WeKids Labs makes.
