Our take
Understandably, video game developers are most focused on building their software, rather than building compliance regulations into their code. k-ID is a startup that wants to simplify the compliance journey for game developers, thus ensuring child safety and privacy online.
K-ID’s first-of-its-kind compliance engine is integrated into platforms by game publishers and is used by some of the largest video games in the world. Parents and publishers can set parameters for children, including restrictions on in-game purchases and private chats. Ultimately, k-ID makes gaming safer for young people, so developers and publishers can focus on building the products players love.
As the first-of-its-kind, it's no surprise that k-ID has amassed plenty of funding from large investors like Andreessen Horowitz and Lightspeed Ventures. k-ID’s founders have the CVs to match, having worked in leadership roles at the likes of Tencent, EA and Google, combining legal and compliance credentials with a solid knowledge of video game development.
