Mental health: moozoom raises $5 million through its platform to help elementary school students
Summary
The Quebec company moozoom has just raised its first $5 million in venture capital, a feat achieved just two years after its birth.We want to get 250 million over the next three years, enthusiastically launches Jean-Philippe Turgeon, who, we can say, manages a growing box.Its learning tool created in 2020 allows teachers to provide socio-emotional foundations to primary school students.The former business lawyer was leading a flourishing career when he left everything behind by investing $200,000 in moozoom. He then convinced, in 2021, a dozen investors, including ex-hockey player Maxime Talbot, to add more than a million dollars.The box took off and quickly ended up in more than 1,000 schools, including 850 in Quebec.We didnt reach 1,000 schools for nothing. Teachers have no resources to deal with mental health and behavioral issues in the classroom, notes the entrepreneur.It is now the turn of venture capital investors, including Fondaction, to believe in Jean-Fran\xe7ois Turgeon and his project.It was my first time raising venture capital. The platform on which moozooms videos are found shot at great expense, because its really important that it be done well must continually be adapted.And as the ex-lawyer puts it so well, this is just the beginning.The United States market is within reach of the box, which also wishes to continue its collaboration with the Quebec Ministry of Education.It works, our business. The teachers want the tool, the students like it, we are growing rapidly and we are encouraged by this new investment, he concludes.Do you have information to share with us about this story?Got a scoop that might be of interest to our readers?Write to us at or call us directly at 1 800-63SCOOP.
