Puberry, a gamified EdTech app that teaches kids about puberty, has raised $130K from investors Γιάννης Τσιώρης and Μαρία Χατζηστεφανή.
The app takes a Duolingo-style approach to health education: users work through lessons and games to advance levels, submit anonymous questions answered by verified health experts, and complete daily check-ins aimed at building emotional and physical self-awareness. Its fruit theme is meant to make the content easier to digest and to spark conversations. The company points to demand for the format - most students say they want more in-depth health education, and many parents are uncomfortable broaching puberty with their kids.
