Built by parents, for parents
vibeTEXT started with a simple belief: kids should be able to stay in touch with the people who love them — without a smartphone. No social media, no open internet, no apps to babysit. Just safe, simple connection.
Steve Eilers
Founder · Product Development
Steve founded vibeTEXT after seeing how early kids reach for a smartphone — and everything that comes with it. He set out to build a device that keeps families connected without the distractions, apps, and open internet of a phone. Today he leads product development, shaping everything from the device itself to the parent portal, always with one question in mind: would this be good enough for our own kids?
Tim Short
Co-founder · Product Development
Tim is a co-founder of vibeTEXT and works alongside Steve on product development. He turns the vision into a real, working product — from the hardware in kids' hands to the software that keeps messages, locations, and safety features running reliably. If a feature ships to a family, Tim helped make sure it actually works the way it should.
