The learning models of the past are out-dated. “New” children are living in a world full of different stimuli: for this reason, teaching tools should change. Today, school systems and individual families are adopting new teaching models. For example, discovery, experience, and gaming combined with new technologies can provide excellent tools that stimulate and convey messages constructively and efficiently.
Mash&Co belongs to this sphere of content. In fact, we designed the product as a trans-media project to convey through experience, discovery, logic, game, and storytelling the values of sharing and issues such as eco-awareness. Children will interact directly with animated stories, discovering the different scenes freely and without constraint; they can move forward or backward in various scenarios and create their narrative flow freely.

Mash&Co belongs to this sphere of content. In fact, we designed the product as a trans-media project to convey through experience, discovery, logic, game, and storytelling the values of sharing and issues such as eco-awareness. Children will interact directly with animated stories, discovering the different scenes freely and without constraint; they can move forward or backward in various scenarios and create their narrative flow freely. Also, there is no text or voice-overs, we use the metalinguistic communication to dialogue with the kids. Parents or educators can follow children natural attitudes in a special dedicated panel. Mash&Co is a product designed for the whole family. Children have fun discovering the story of the friendship between Mash (the mushroom) and Periwinkle (the snail) that are going to start a long journey together to solve the problem of the drought in the forest. The story conveys educational issues but also introduces values such as respect for nature, friendship, sharing. It involves all members of the family providing parents the opportunity to follow children’s progress through a specific panel. Mash&Co is unique with original serial content, focused on interactive cartoons, innovative interactivity, AR, and Motion, which give the opportunity to children to learn with the characters by interacting inside the story. Mash&Co contains quality content; every detail is designed to be suitable for children. Also, an international team develops the entire project with the help of experts in child psychology.

Paris&Co and COMET, international incubator, highly recommend Mash&Co. Mash&Co has been selected to join the Paris Landing Pack_Explore, business acceleration program on how to expand a business in Paris, this june 2018. Valerio & Katrin the two co-founders are serious, motivated and full of ressources in order to make this month efficient for their business development.

This is my second recommendation for Mash&Co. After the acceleration program in TIM#WCAP, they are demonstrating outstanding execution skills, achieving great results and international recognition and moving forward to realize the vision they have for their product. They are extremely passionate and determined and are building an entire ecosystem around the core product keeping high quality standards and a strong focus on their users' needs.

Mash & Co. Team was selected, financed and accelerated in TIM#WCAP Accelerator in 2015. The founders are two really passionate, creative and determined people. They are not creating just a wonderful mobile game but they are focused on building a great Brand since Katrin and Vincenzo combine both a deep care of details with a wider vision.
The key elements that make their goal closer are an extremely good product, an expanding partner ecosystem, and a well-defined roadmap and go-to-market strategy.

Crabtoon Studio was selected for AppCampus seed accelerator to develop a Windows Phone application, the team also participated to our AppCademy acceleration camp in Finland. The team was very dedicated and passionate about the product and the overall animation for children and the concept of leveraging for dedication, and worked hard to deliver the best possible product, achieving great results. I strongly recommend this dedicated team for the Disney accelerator, they would greatly benefit from exposure to the USA startup environment and connection to the media & entertainment industry in LA.
