Fred's Story

Born in a family.

Fred is not just a product; it's a family project.

Fred began at home.

Skylar Bolton, the creator of Fred, often received calls from his parents about suspicious emails.

"Is this real?"

"Should I click this link?"

After helping them again and again, Skylar had a simple idea:

What if something could check these messages instantly for any family?

That idea became Fred.

Skylar built the technology, and his wife Thais designed Fred's visual identity.

Together, they created Fred with one goal:

Help families protect the people they love online.

With care, from the Bolton family
to families around the world.
