Garbo is a brand on a mission to proactively prevent harm in the digital age through the use of technology, tools, and education. Founded in 2018 by Kathryn Kosmides, Garbo aims to redefine safety by connecting people, platforms, and policymakers. Recognizing the challenges victims face when reporting incidents and the lack of accountability for perpetrators, Garbo strives to develop a new kind of safety system.

With the help of dedicated volunteers and sponsorship funding from organizations like Match Group, Garbo has built an innovative online background check platform. The brand collaborates with numerous experts and advocates in technology, policy, legal, and social justice fields to find the delicate balance between privacy and protection in the digital world. Since its launch, Garbo has assisted over 1 million people through their technology, tools, and educational resources.

With interpersonal violence affecting millions across genders, Garbo recognizes that a history of causing harm is the biggest indicator of future harm. By addressing these issues and working towards deterrence and accountability, Garbo seeks to combat gender-based violence and protect victims. Through partnerships with organizations and associations, Garbo expands its reach and promotes proactive prevention of online harm.

With the ultimate goal of creating a safer digital environment, Garbo continues to innovate and make a positive impact in the lives of individuals
