** MAKING KIDS TV BETTER **
***************************
Kids in the UK watch 6bn hours of TV every year. At Hopster, we’re trying to make that time better. Our first product is a beautiful iPad app for kids aged 2-6, which combines gorgeous TV shows with contextual learning games - and we plan to go much further. Launched in December, we have had great reviews from parents so far plus thousands and thousands of MAUs. Oh, and we have paying customers.
We're a funded London-based start-up, launched in late 2013. Our team includes people from a range of backgrounds (from start-ups to non-profits and corporates), all with a solid track record of developing and delivering innovative and successful products to consumer audiences.
