Open-source baseNone

Youth sports is a $19 billion industry built on family financial exploitation and inadequate child protection. WanderPlay Youth covers the full exploitation stack: scholarship reality calculator (actual odds vs. what recruiting services tell families), travel sports expense tracker, contract red flag scanner for team and showcase agreements, coach background check infrastructure with anonymous reporting, physical health documentation independent of any program, and direct college coach contact bypassing recruiting services. Overlaps with WanderAgent Sports for athletes who go professional, and with WanderShield for the predatory coach trafficking pipeline.

Hand-assembled

Built by supported employment workers — people with intellectual disabilities, autism, and physical disabilities — through WWP's fulfillment program. Every product ships with a Built By card. Competitive wage, never 14(c) subminimum.

Repair & refurb

Send it back. Prepaid label. Component-level repair, module upgrades, firmware updates. 7-year spare parts guarantee. Donate on return — refurbished hardware goes to shelter and community partners. GPL firmware: the device works even if WanderVerse shuts down.

No hardware subscription — ever

BMW charged $18/mo for heated seats already in your car. GM locked remote start. Eero charges for VPN on hardware that could run it free. We don't do that. You bought it, you own it — every feature works forever, no subscription required. WanderAssist ($9/mo optional) is a convenience layer, never a gate. Safety features are never paywalled.

Pro & Lux tiers — coming

Every WanderVerse hardware product will offer Pro and Lux finish tiers — premium materials and handcrafted finishes by WanderVerse Artisans: supported employment workers with artistic skills. Each Lux unit ships with a Finished By card. Lux revenue cross-subsidizes nonprofit pricing.
