International growth into areas just like the EU, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East, in which digital literacy campaigns are accelerating adoption
Notably, Family Zone’s acquisition of Qustodio, a major European parental management player, highlights the growing worldwide interest in online protection. This Australian firm aims to integrate Qustodio into school and home environments, creating a unified ecosystem for digital wellbeing, showing how education and family protection are converging under one digital umbrella.
Meanwhile, VC interest in online protection startups is developing. In early 2024, Bark secured a brand new funding round to beautify its AI-driven safety capabilities and increase partnerships with U.S. College districts, similarly solidifying its management in the field.
