Interestingly, this happened with minimal marketing investment. The growth was fueled by word-of-mouth referrals, our in-house growth channels, including three free kids' apps with a large user base, and partnerships with industry leaders like Apple and Google. Moving ahead, our focus is shifting from development to scale. Our product is robust, our unit economics are healthy, and we are poised to expand, which is the objective of this upcoming funding round.

I'm excited to dive into them. Regarding our subscriber retention rate, while we keep specific metrics confidential for strategic reasons, I can share that we're proud of our strong retention figures, which reflect our commitment to delivering a top-notch user experience. As for the use of funds in this financing round, we're focusing on two key areas: Firstly, launching our web-based acquisition model. This includes an optimized purchase funnel for subscribing via our website, accessible on both iOS and Android. Secondly, we're developing a web-based referral product for partnerships with brands, media, and influencers, offering extended free trials of Papumba. We're already making strides in this area, as seen with our recent partnership with MercadoLibre, and we have more exciting announcements on the horizon. Our strategy for doubling subscribers in the next 12 months is twofold. We're enhancing product engagement with new gamification strategies to promote playful learning. 2024 will see significant improvements in this regard. We're also focusing on partnerships to increase Papumba's visibility, which is a key driver for our growth. At Papumba, we define success by becoming a trusted partner for millions of families worldwide. Our goal is to positively influence children's integration into technology, stimulating them to unlock their potential. Regarding developmental milestones, we've conducted some studies on mathematics and logical thinking and plan to explore more areas in the future. Yes, we're creating content in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, catering to a diverse global audience. Hope this helps clarify your queries. Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions!
