Vobble, an audio-first immersive media platform for children aged between 4 and 12, has secured a USD 1 million seed round led by Lumikai Capital along with participation from Blume Founders Fund and multiple other tech Founder and CEO angels.

According to the information, the proceeds will be used to expand its user base while enabling them to find the right product-market fit. As an early stage company Vobble will continue to focus on its product development and in further enhancing its AI capabilities.

Vobble was founded in 2022 by Neha Sharma and Sowmya Jagannath having extensive experience as marketers and as product specialists.
