Vobble, an audio-first immersive media platform for children aged 4–12, has secured a $1 million seed round led by Lumikai Fund, a gaming and interactive media fund. It also saw participation from the Blume Founders Fund and multiple other tech founders and CEO angels.
The funds will enable Vobble to expand its user base while enabling them to find the right product-market fit. As an early-stage company, Vobble will continue to focus on its product development and further enhance its AI capabilities, according to a company statement.
As a platform, Vobble produces all its high-quality audio content in-house. The content is both for entertainment and to foster positive development through skill-based story series, informative and quiz-based podcasts, including weekly news by kids, and habit-forming music.
Their early partnerships with renowned publishers like HarperCollins, Scholastic, Rebel Girls, Tulika, Hasbro (Peppa & Monopoly), and Amar Chitra Katha highlight the platform's commitment to quality and trustworthiness, according to the company statement.
Neha Sharma, Co-Founder and CEO of Vobble, expressed excitement, stating, “Our goal is to craft a legacy that inspires and innovates, impacting a new generation through the power of audio and audio-enhanced products.”
Sowmya Jagannath, Co-Founder and CPO, Vobble, said, “Audio is a new category for kids, and we are keenly listening to our customers and market as we evolve our product. With this investment, we will expand our immersive audio library and will also experiment further with multi-sensory and audio-enhanced solutions and devices.”
