EQ-focused edutainment startup EMoMee has raised $1 million in a pre-seed funding round co-led by Whiteboard Capital, Gruhas Collective Consumer Fund, and DeVC. The proceeds will help to launch its ‘first of its kind’ products in the last quarter of 2024, EMoMee stated in a press-release. Co-founded in 2023 by Pooja Jauhari, Varun Duggirala and Suraksha Subhramaniam, EMoMee is dedicated to unlock emotional intelligence through an integrated ecosystem of skill-based play, stories, content and other learning tools catering to children between the ages 2 to 7 years. The brand empowers parents and caregivers to cultivate emotional resilience and empathy in children, preparing them for a socially conscious future. As per market research, the global SEL market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 24.3% from 2021 to 2030. Through expert designed, age appropriate skill-based play kits, products and an extensive content universe built around the three child characters E, Mo and Mee, the brand seeks to help develop habits that bring about meaningful changes that lead to holistic emotional growth. It intends to expand to middle-schoolers and teenagers.
