Investor perspective
"I first became aware of GoBubble when they approached Yoti to work together enhancing the parent consent flow. I was very impressed by the innovation shown in the creation of the GoBubble platform, particularly the security of the cutting-edge video content moderation. After speaking with Henry, I knew I wanted to be part of his journey and support the ongoing formation of a safe online space for thousands of GoBubble users."
