Karri Secures £775K in Pre-Seed Funding for Smart Walkie-Talkie
Karri, a London, UK-based startup, has successfully secured £775K in Pre-Seed funding, with 468 Capital leading the round. The investment also saw the participation of notable angel investors such as Verena Pausder, Hakan Koç, Michael Hernaus, Wolfgang Reisinger, Sven Vaders, Matthias Laug, and Christian Indra. The company plans to utilize the funds to transition its smart walkie-talkie for children from the current prototype testing phase to mass production and eventual rollout in the UK.
Karri's innovative product offers a simple yet effective solution for parents looking to stay connected with their young ones.
The data-enabled walkie talkie, designed for children aged four to ten years, is seamlessly integrated with a smartphone app that allows parents to send and receive messages and track their kids' location through GPS. To enhance safety measures, parents can establish a geo-fence boundary, defining a "safe zone" for their child, and receive automatic notifications if the child ventures beyond this designated area.
Aside from its tracking and messaging features, Karri also enables children to communicate with each other on different channels, fostering social interaction while ensuring a secure environment. The KARRI smartphone app for parents serves as a centralized platform for managing these communications and monitoring their child's activities, providing peace of mind to families. With its commitment to innovative solutions and emphasis on safety, Karri is poised to make a significant impact in the market for kid-friendly communication devices.
