Built by Parents, Backed by Science
Alejandro Taubas started Xoul in Austin, TX after a simple, honest moment of parental anxiety. His daughter had started using social media, and he realized he had no real window into her digital emotional life. Not her messages — he didn't want those. He wanted to know if she was okay. The tools that existed felt either invasive or useless.
From day one, Xoul was designed with a non-negotiable constraint: no conversation content. Privacy wasn't added later as a feature. It was the founding principle. Alejandro partnered with licensed pediatric psychologists before writing a line of product code, ensuring clinical validity came before technical ambition.
Today, Xoul is a seed-stage company operating out of Austin and growing across the US. We're venture-backed, clinically validated, and COPPA compliant. Our team of five spans product, AI engineering, clinical psychology, and growth — and most of us are parents ourselves.
