Investing in child online safety and well‑being

Highlights

Children make up around one third of the world's population and are increasingly affected by the products, services and business models of technology startups and early-stage companies. These UNICEF resources help VCs and growth equity investors understand how risks and opportunities relating to children's rights can affect investment decisions and long-term value creation.

Designed for General Partners (GPs) and Limited Partners (LPs), the resources highlight key child rights issues in relation to the digital environment, including safety, privacy, well-being, education and AI. They also provide practical signals of risk and preparedness that investors can use in their engagement and decision-making.
