Karri, a London, UK-based startup developing a smart walkie-talkie for children, raised £775K in Pre-Seed funding.
The round was led by 468 Capital with participation from a group of angel investors such as Verena Pausder, Hakan Koç, Michael Hernaus, Wolfgang Reisinger, Sven Vaders, Matthias Laug, and Christian Indra.
The company intends to use the funds to take its product from the current prototype testing phase to mass production and rollout in the UK.
Karri offers a simple solution in its data-enabled walkie talkie for four to ten year olds, which is securely integrated with a smartphone app for parents. Parents can receive and send messages back via the app, and track their kids’ location via GPS. For additional security, parents can enable geo-fencing to demarcate a “safe zone” and be automatically notified if their child roams beyond this area. Kids can also use their KARRI like a classic walkie talkie and communicate with one another in channels, as well as with their parents and relatives, all securely managed via the KARRI smartphone app for parents.
