Fingerprint Digital, a US-based mobile education platform for children aged between three and eight, has raised $1.4m in its first round.
K2MediaLabs, Nasdaq-listed publisher THQ, Reed Elsevier Ventures, the corporate venturing unit of the eponymous UK-listed publisher, and Suffolk Holdings, an investment, development and advisory company established to promote interactive business in educational and social media and medical technology, provided the money.
Fingerprint was co-founded by chief executive Nancy MacIntyre (pictured), who most recently served as executive vice-president of product and marketing at LeapFrog Enterprises, and Kevin Wendle and Daniel Klaus of K2MediaLabs, an investment firm engaged in creating businesses for the connected consumer.
