VISIBLE is your ultimate networking platform designed exclusively for parents. Connect with other parents, manage your parenting conversations, and get trusted recommendations; it's all on VISIBLE. Never miss an opportunity to reconnect with the parent you met at the playground, school pick up, a birthday party, swim class, or neighborhood BBQ. When you connect on VISIBLE, the expectation is to keep in touch. Busy parents want to connect with other parents, but don't always have time to invest in new social relationships. KEY FEATURES - Parent Profiles: Create a profile that highlights your parenting skills, experience, and accomplishments. - A Single Contact Database: Keep all your parent connections in one organized place. - Advanced Search: Search for parents by name or by organization membership. - Trusted Recommendations: Get advice and recommendations from real parents. - Privacy Focus: Your information and connections are secure, with a strong emphasis on privacy. WHY PARENTS CONNECT ON VISIBLE - Find a parent who has a toddler at the preschool you are evaluating to ask them questions such as "who are the best instructors" "how well are the facilities maintained" "what is the enrollment process like" - Parents who move to a new city want to find and connect with parents in their new neighborhood, with children in the same age range - To keep in touch with a parent they met at the birthday party instead of exchanging phone numbers or friending each other on FB. PARENTS LOVE US "I haven't seen anything like this on the market." "I like that it's not just for moms" "I'm sometimes not looking for friends. I have plenty of friends. But I still want to know...what school should I go to? How did you get in?" "I'm excited. I would use this immediately. It's a need I have in my life, especially because most of my kids grew up in San Francisco. So this whole community in Seattle is new for me. I still don't know that many people. So I feel like I had to start from scratch with everything. Whereas I used to just like walk down the street and be like, Hi, neighbor. So yeah, this is awesome. I love the idea." "But I think the thing about this that seems cool is that it seems like it can scale with my daughter aging. It's not just a thing for little kids. If she was in high school, this could just be equally as relevant" "There's nothing like this now that I've seen. I'm like, Wow, this would have been great five years ago." "I also really like how it's very parents-focused. And I don't think anything like that exists today outside of you know, people's own little social networks or groups like I am personally on like for moms groups - like they just add me on WhatsApp, at school, at daycare and so on." "I think that there's certainly a gap between the world on Facebook or Instagram, like just broadcasting something you want and hesitation to do that. I won't do that at all. And reviews are converged to the mean. You never know who the other parent is or anything about them or whoever the other reviewer is. So you ended up getting like an average.
