Sparkli will use the US$5 million funding to build a platform that fuses generative AI, pedagogy, motion design, and game mechanics.
Zurich-based AI company Sparkli recently raised US$5 million in its pre-seed round to bring a multimodal learning engine to families and schools globally.
The firm aims to launch a new model of learning shaped for the developing brain, using real-time multimodal AI that gives children the ability to build their own interactive learning expeditions on any topic in minutes.
Sparkli is currently validating its platform through a pilot programme with private school groups, and the US$5 million funding will be used to scale its generative learning engine, while preparing for a private beta launch in January 2026.
“Our goal is to build agency in the next generation,” said Lax Poojary, CEO and founder of Sparkli. “Children learn by exploring, making choices, asking questions, and discovering what inspires them. Sparkli turns screen time into a place where curiosity grows rather than fades.”
“Sparkli represents a step change in how children can interact with knowledge,” said Lukas Weder, Partner at Founderful. “The team is applying high-calibre engineering and thoughtful pedagogy to a space that desperately needs innovation. Their traction with schools shows a real appetite for tools that foster curiosity and agency rather than passive consumption.”
