Startup LiveKid, which offers a platform that is a “kindergarten in a smartphone”, has raised PLN 9 million in its first round of financing. The main investor is JR Holding, owned by January Ciszewski, well known on the stock market, about which a lot of attention has been paid recently to investment in Ekipa - Polish YouTube phenomenon.
LiveKid is a startup offering a mobile application and a web platform for managing nurseries and kindergartens. It serves not only the administration of institutions, but also parents, who can thus communicate with the kindergarten on an ongoing basis, e.g. regarding their children’s absence, and even view their activity during the day. The application also allows the kindergartens to share photos and videos with parents. According to LiveKid’s declarations, the startup’s services are used daily by about 150 thousand users and more than 1300 facilities in Poland.
The company was founded in 2017, and its founders are Jakub Pawelski and Mateusz Kulesza. For almost 4 years they developed the platform independently, with their own resources. Now LiveKid has raised its first external funding, in the amount of PLN 9 million, with a valuation of around PLN 40 million.
