Gauri Nanda, began her career as the designer and entrepreneur behind Clocky®, the alarm clock that runs away as featured on the cover of Inc. Magazine. Gauri created Clocky while she was a graduate student at the MIT Media Lab and subsequently built her first business into $11M in sales. In November of 2013, she launched her new venture, Toymail, with co-founder, Audry Hill. Toymail lets friends and family can message kids through their toys. Gauri believes that we all spend a little too much time behind screens isolated from others. Her mission is to rethink the way technology is used in toys, and re-design it into screenless toys, with applications that encourage kids to be social.

gaurinanda··on Toymail (YC W16) is reimagining the mobile phone for kids
I'm Gauri, co-founder at Toymail. We're building the first messaging platform for kids because most children under 10 do not have their own phone. Our challenges are in how to make messaging playful, secure, simple, and viral for young kids. Message me - I'd be happy to answer your questions.
