Our North Star
Every child on earth deserves to
read for joy — in their own language,
at their own pace, on their own path.

That's what we're building. Every decision we make
points back to this.

The Platform

One platform.
The full reading journey.

📚

Content

Thousands of books, decodables & stories — ages 4–11, multiple languages.

🎯

Personalisation

AI that adapts reading level, genre, and pacing to each child automatically.

📊

Insights

Real-time data for teachers & parents — fluency, comprehension, engagement.

🏫

Schools

Curriculum-aligned tools, teacher dashboards, class management.

🎙️

Voice & Audio

AI voice read-aloud, fluency assessment, pronunciation feedback.

🌍

Global

Built for multiple languages and school systems from day one.

Why Pickatale™ wins

We're the only platform that
does all three.

  • 🤖
    AI-driven personalisation at the core
    Not bolted on — baked in from the start.

The Opportunity

A massive, underserved market.

1.5B
children in primary school globally
$50B+
global EdTech reading market
1 in 5
children struggle to read by age 10

Existing tools are generic, slow, and not built for personalisation at scale.
Pickatale is.

Why now?

The conditions are perfect.

🤖

AI is ready

LLMs, speech-to-text, and adaptive AI just crossed the threshold for reliable classroom use.

📱

Devices are everywhere

Post-COVID, every school has tablets or phones. The hardware problem is solved.

📉

Reading crisis is real

Test scores are down globally. Schools are desperate for solutions that actually work.

🏁

Window is open

No single competitor has stitched content + AI + schools into one platform yet. That's our window.

What we need from you

Let's move fast.

We have the vision, the team, and the technology.
Here's what comes next.

🚀

Ship faster

4 products in parallel. We need to pick our launch sequence and go all-in.

🤝

School pilots

Intros to school decision-makers who will pilot and give us real feedback.

💰

Funding runway

Enough runway to reach our first 10,000 active readers and prove the model.
