Defuze: The Future of Co-Parenting - Less Stress, More Solutions

Co-parenting shouldn't feel like an emotional minefield, yet for many, it does. Every message sent carries the weight of past conflict, and every reply risks turning a simple logistical question into an exhausting emotional exchange. Defuze, the innovative AI-powered co-parenting app, is revolutionizing shared parenting by blending cutting-edge technology with community-driven support, offering parents a stress-free way to communicate and collaborate. Following a successful initial funding round, Defuze is now focused on scaling its impact and attracting new strategic partners.

AI-Driven Solutions and a Supportive Community

Defuze’s flagship feature, THEA, is an AI co-parenting companion that neutralizes reactivity, ensuring that messages remain practical, not personal. By leveraging natural language processing and neuro-linguistic programming, THEA helps co- parents communicate effectively, resolve conflicts, and manage responsibilities without unnecessary tension

• No more guessing games: Defuze removes friction from conversations so parents can focus on logistics, not past grievances

• No more walking on eggshells: THEA ensures that exchanges remain productive, preventing conversations from escalating into conflict

• No more wasted energy: Defuze reduces the emotional burden of co-parenting, allowing parents to make decisions with clarity and confidence.

Beyond technology, Defuze Circle provides a safe space for co-parents to connect, share experiences, and access trusted resources. With privacy and boundaries at the forefront, Defuze ensures that every parent feels supported and empowered throughout their journey.

A Word from Vanessa, Founder of Defuze:

“As a single parent, I’ve lived the stress, frustration, and exhaustion of trying to co-parent when communication is strained,” says Vanessa Carson, Founder & CEO of Defuze. “Defuze is the missing piece – a buffer that prevents conflict, a mediator that keeps conversations productive, and a bridge that ensures both parents remain actively involved in their children’s lives, even when direct communication is difficult. We believe that co-parenting shouldn’t be reactive; it should be proactive, giving parents the tools to prevent conflict before it starts.”

Beyond an App – A Social Impact Movement

Defuze isn’t just a co-parenting platform—it’s a movement to reshape the future of co-parenting. Alongside building the technology, Vanessa Carson is actively working with organizations on court reform, advocating for a system that prioritizes collaboration over confrontation.

Traditional solutions, such as legal intervention and mediation, are costly, outdated, and reactive, often leading to:

• Escalated conflict: Poor communication fuels tension, creating unnecessary stress and misunderstandings.

• Financial and legal burdens: Custody disputes and legal battles drain resources that could be better spent on the family’s well-being.

• Workplace disruption: Family disputes contribute to £30 billion in lost productivity annually, affecting career stability and financial security.

• Disconnected extended families: Grandparents, step-parents, and caregivers struggle to remain involved when communication barriers exist.

Defuze provides a proactive, preventative alternative, leveraging AI to improve communication, prevent unnecessary escalation, and support better family outcomes.
