Hi, I am Maya, The founder of MeMeTales. At MeMeTales, we are reinventing children’s stories. \n
\nOur target market is a mom that spends close to 9-10 hours per day, at a stretch, with one or two toddlers.\nAllie had a great corporate job. She quit when she had kids and is truly enjoying spending time with the kids, except she is pretty much stark raving mad by the end of the day. \nFor her own sanity, Allie lets her kids have an hour of screen time everyday and she hands them and ipad – so much better than TV \nThey want a trusted space where the child can go back day after day to learn, have fun and be stimulated.\n\nAs a mom myself, I know know hard this is. The mobile app space is filled with several good apps, yet the choices for immersive learning destinations for kids are far and few in between,\n
\nThat is why we built MeMeTales. MeMeTales is first and foremost a reading destination. \nBooks into games and wrap games with learning. \n\nFirst – we give kids access to several stories that they choose. With audio, rich content\nSecond – we make reading fun –. They get points and stickers \nThird – Book related games\n
Over the past 6 months, we have learned that when you actually make reading into a game, kids do read. We have steadily grown to 19K users and on average a child is reading on MeMeTales for 29 minutes. \nWe have had close to 200K complete book reads. We\n\n2 grapds\n
