Hatched in 2003, Kajeet's executive team has spent the past few years doing homework, conducting research to figure out what kids want, and how to offer it safely and affordably. Early on, Neal and his two partners, all dads with young kids and extensive hi-tech resumes, decided there'd be no contracts or cancellation fees, to reflect the flexible, whimsical nature of kids themselves.
