About

Sage Haven is a messaging and voice calling application for children that uses AI-powered moderation to block harmful messages before transmission and encourage kinder communication 1. Co-founded by sisters Kate Doerksen (a serial tech entrepreneur) and Anne Pizzuti, the company was inspired by a teen family member’s struggle with cyberbullying and a resulting mental health crisis 12. The platform allows parents to approve contacts and monitor messages from their own devices, with AI-generated alerts and conversation summaries 1.
