Children's Drawing Storage Platform 'Little Picasso' Secures Seed Investment from Sopung Ventures

Kiwi Studio, Service Opened Last October
Store and Manage Children's Drawings in the Cloud

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] Kiwi Studio, a startup operating the children's drawing storage platform 'Little Picasso,' announced on the 15th that it has secured seed investment from impact investment firm Sofung Ventures. The investment amount was not disclosed.

Little Picasso is a parent-tech platform that helps parents and art academies take photos of children's drawings with smartphones and store and manage them in the cloud. Parent-tech refers to services that assist parents in child education based on IT technology.

According to Little Picasso, a child aged 4 to 7 draws an average of more than 10 drawings per week and over 500 drawings per year. Parents find it difficult to store the accumulating drawings daily, so they initially collect them but eventually discard them.

Targeting this issue, Little Picasso has rapidly grown since launching its service in October last year, gathering about 5,000 users and approximately 15,000 registered drawings within just over four months. Around 3,000 new drawings are stored on Little Picasso every week. Currently, the service is available for free.

Kiwi Studio CEO Park Cheon-myeong is a developer-founder who majored in program development since high school. Kiwi Studio has a total of six employees. Team members, including planners with backgrounds as daycare teachers, create services tailored to parents' perspectives.

CEO Park said, "Based on the investment, we plan to accelerate the advancement of our application service and technology," adding, "We want to create a service that listens to the feelings hidden in children's drawings and takes care of their mental health."
