Here's a throwback to our amazing 2023

Our year of 2023 has been a year of identifying, defining and shaping the value that we can bring to our community of parents, teachers and learners. As 2023 draws to a close, we want to reminisce and thank our community of parents, teachers and mentors for their support towards our research and development.

From an idea to a product

From an idea to deep research and bringing a first version of our product to our learners, we’ve seen some incredible learnings this year that have truly refined our product journey, our strategy and a clear direction towards delivering our value promise to our community. We truly believe in building and developing these ideas into something bigger, better and something that children and parents will want to use in 2024!

Our proud moments with our learners, parents and teachers

Here’s what some of our little learners who tried our app, said about their experience with Yeti, my friend

“Yeti is my best friend because Yeti is so kind.”
“I love Welly. She really cares for the ocean.”
“I want more stories. Can I talk to Yeti?”
“I love spending time with you, Yeti.”
"I really like Yeti because Yeti is my friend, and Yeti is very friendly".
"I like Yeti because it's fun. Yeti was talking and Yeti was listening to me".
"I like the to-dos of Yeti, and really liked playing the games with Yeti",

Here’s what the parents of our little learners who tried the app said

“This is so much more than learning.”
“I love that Yeti is very calming and nurturing”.
“This is such a good use of screen time!”
“My kiddo is asking me more questions and I feel she is getting more curious.”
“This is so different from the gamification apps out there that are keeping the children captive. I love that it has screen breaks built-in!”
“I love the stories that not only help children think but have a good moral at the end of each story.”

And here’s what our teachers shared about the app and why they would recommend it to their students and parents

“I like that Yeti helps with learning while being fun and not distracting or over-stimulating our learners.”
“There are so many opportunities to learn a topic more deeply.”
“My learners asked a lot more questions and were curious to learn more.”
Yeti, my friend provided an enriching experience for my students. Not only was it fun and interactive, but it helped my students self-regulate by focusing their emotions and energy through heartfelt stories and igniting their curiosity. Yeti, My Friend is delightfully impactful”.
