I'm investing in Gryphon because parental control is an intricate topic for
families; Gryphon helps enable parent control on web activities effortlessly.
Gryphon makes the web safer for kids while training them to manage time better.
It's as simple as setting up some house rules and letting your Gryphon do its
job and enforce those rules continuously.

In today's homes, where many "smart" IoT devices live, most are not
sophisticated enough to have the security posture against modern-day
cyberattacks. As a network security device, Gryphon can also play a role in
guarding the digital perimeter of your home and preventing cyber intrusions 24 x
7.

I look forward to being part of this round and helping John, Arup, and the team
in continuing their success.

As a parent, I know firsthand how difficult it is to keep our kids safe online.

use. In many cases, products are designed to keep you and your family online
more without considering your digital health and safety.

software development. Led the team at PortalPlayer that developed multiple

EXPLOSION OF CONNECTED DEVICES AND EXCESSIVE INTERNET USAGE IS CREATING THE NEED
FOR GRYPHON.


GRYPHON IS A MACHINE LEARNING POWERED NETWORK PROTECTION SERVICE WITH A POWERFUL
MESH WIFI SYSTEM AND A SIMPLE TO USE APP TO KEEP FAMILIES SAFE ONLINE.


THE BIGGEST THREATS TO FAMILIES ARE COMING FROM THE INTERNET









DIGITAL PARENTING IS MORE CHALLENGING THAN EVER

 * Kids spend more than 7 hours per day in front of screens
 * According to NIH, excessive screen time is associated with poor sleep, high
   blood pressure, obesity, and other health issues
 * Screentime management is one of the toughest challenges faced by parents




HOME NETWORKS ARE INCREASINGLY PRONE TO CYBERCRIME

 * 70% of connected devices in the home are vulnerable to hacking
 * 600% increase in cybercrimes during COVID-19
 * Every new connected device such as a printer or a webcam increases
   your exposure to identity theft, invasion of privacy, or worst




EXISTING SOLUTIONS ARE INADEQUATE AND COMPLICATED 

 * Most families lack a basic understanding of networking and cybersecurity
 * Current solutions focus on tech specs but not on their impact on families
 * Big tech's business models are not aligned with the digital health and
   well-being of families
 * Although there are competitors in the home networking space, Gryphon is the
   only company entirely focused on family-friendly network protection with a
   solution that is built from the ground up with privacy and family in mind.
 * Gryphon continues to lead the field in home network protection with software
   innovations no other product in our space is offering.
