COSMO

What COSMO does

COSMO Technologies, Inc. is a Denver, Colorado-based family technology company founded in 2020 by Russell York that designs, markets, and supports connected hardware and accompanying subscription services for parents of children roughly aged 6–12. The company's flagship product line is the JrTrack family of 4G LTE kids' smartwatches (currently the JrTrack 5 and JrTrack 5 SE), complemented by the new Explorer Clip wearable introduced at CES 2026. Devices are distributed primarily through direct-to-consumer online channels including Amazon, where the JrTrack 5 became the #1 selling 4G kids smartwatch.

The technical foundation is a proprietary stack branded as SafeCORE, HaloGPS, School-Fi, True Texting, and FlexSIM, which together provide GPS location tracking with geofencing, school-mode content filtering, approved-contact-only messaging, and multi-carrier cellular connectivity. A watch-side App Station allows parent-approved third-party applications, and a recent partnership with Maple (Feb 2026) extends the platform into family calendar and shared tasks. COSMO reports tens of thousands of family customers, more than 300 million messages exchanged, 91 million moments/memories shared, and 1.8 million calls blocked per month, with consumer ratings of 4.8/5 on Google (600+ ratings) and 4.5/5 on Trustpilot (900+ reviews).

The business follows a razor/blade model: hardware priced at $79.99–$129.99 (JrTrack 5 SE at $129.99) plus a required Cosmo Mobile cellular subscription at $9.99–$19.99 per month with a $14.99 activation fee per device. Coverage extends across the US, Canada, and Mexico on tier-one carrier networks. The company is privately held, Pre-Seed funded (June 2021, Free Radical Ventures lead), and operates with a lean team of 1–10 employees.
