Yuna

São Paulo, Brazil

Overview

Yuna develops an interactive, personalized children's-book platform that uses AI together with stories and content produced by professional writers, illustrators and editors. The product personalizes stories using family-provided data (preferences, names, temperament, desired ‘‘superpowers,’’ etc.) so each child becomes the protagonist. The startup targets families and caregivers of children aged one to twelve and emphasizes cognitive and socioemotional development. Yuna plans to hire writers, illustrators, editors and distributors and aims to expand internationally after establishing itself in Brazil. The company reported early traction: in four months the platform reached 35,000 downloads, produced 100,000 books, and earned a 4.7/5 average rating from 30,000 reviews. The recent funding will support product development, team formation and brand consolidation for the interactive-book ecosystem.
