The Storypod brand, founded by Loraine, Daniel, Sara, & Sophia in Miami, FL, aims to combat the growing prevalence of screens in children's lives by offering a brain-healthy alternative through audio-play experiences. Inspired by their own concerns for their children's well-being, the founders created Storypod to provide a modernized version of their beloved childhood story tapes that combines interactive play, music, and storytelling. Through the support of an amazing community of crowdfunding backers, Storypod has become a successful IoT hardware startup, offering families the opportunity for less screen time and more quality story time.
