“My children started using Papumba at age two. Instead of just watching YouTube, they enjoy drawing, painting, practice writing letters, and even learning about basic physics, among many other things. After meeting the hardworking and talented Papumba team, I became even more excited to support this amazing educational platform for kids. They know how to execute and they their visionary roadmap, which embraces the power of AI, promises a bright future for young learners!”

Invest in a Brighter Tomorrow with Papumba
Join us on an exciting adventure with Papumba—the app making waves as one of Apple's top 10 kids' apps worldwide.
We're more than an educational app; we're a mission to elevate the way families interact with technology, filling homes with laughter, learning, and high-quality digital experiences.
What is Papumba?
Papumba is a unique content platform aimed to help kids learn through play. We are a team of passionate people, who believe in the power of technology to make learning fun and accessible for children around the world.
Through a subscription app, we focus on delivering high-quality, personalized educational content to kids from 2-7.
Our resources are designed around the concept that all children have a natural curiosity to play and discover—the cornerstone of learning and preparing for school and life.
With a vast library of diverse content (all created by early childhood learning experts), we give parents peace of mind knowing that technology can be an opportunity to turn screen time into safe, engaging learning experiences both online and offline.
We created Papumba with the aim of giving meaningful screen time to our own little ones. Now, families from all over the world trust us for their kiddos' fun and learning.
Our Vision for the Future
We're not just setting our sights on the here and now; we're planning for a future where Papumba is the go-to digital playground for 500 million families worldwide. But it's not just about scale; it's about shaping the tech habits of the next generation. We aim to redefine 'screen time' from a dreaded term into a celebrated one. We're not merely polishing the surface of digital content; we're laying down the foundation for healthier, more mindful tech consumption for our kids and their future families.
Why 2023 is the Year to Act
Let's face it. The current digital landscape for young families is, well, unsettling. Kids average 90 hours a month on mediocre content, leaving parents scrambling to find better alternatives. Sound familiar?

Kids in action - Papumba's Playtesting Session
When making an app for children, it’s important to create user-friendly experiences that take into account child development and age-appropriate content. That’s why we have playtesting sessions whenever possible, to ensure our app is engaging, educational, and safe for young users.
Playtesting allows us to gather valuable feedback from children and their caregivers, helping us refine and improve our app to better meet their needs and expectations.
What Our Community Says
We can toot our horn all day, but our 40,000 parent reviews across 18 languages do a way better job. The trust we’ve built is reflected in our solid 4.6 rating.
Not only does our own community have our back, but Kingscrowd, the premier source for venture capital crowdfunding, has rated Papumba as a Top Deal on their platform!

Forecasting a Bright Future
We project to have half a million families join us in the next three years, targeting $30 million in revenue. Big dreams? Sure. But we're well on our way.
