Introducing, Tin Can Communities! Parents, schools, and neighborhoods are waking up to the negative impacts of early smartphone adoption, but going screen-free is tough to do alone. Tin Can Communities allows PTAs, schools, and local organizations to adopt Tin Can’s Wi-Fi-enabled, screenless kids' phones together through bulk pricing and onboarding support. The momentum behind this team is electric: 📞 Hundreds of thousands of phones sold since launching their flagship product in 2025. 🚀 Massive Community Adoption: In Kansas City, kids at one school have used their Tin Cans to call each other 29 out of the last 30 days. On San Juan Island, a local group logged 1,500 calls in just the first week! 📺 Pop Culture Crossover: They even got an unprompted shoutout on Jimmy Kimmel Live! CEO Chet Kittleson, GraemeDav Davies, and Max Blumen are building something incredibly special that gives kids their childhoods back while giving parents peace of mind.
