Company mission
To help kids learn through the stories they love.
Our take
Hopster is an ad-free, kid-safe and interactive TV channel accessible across app stores and through certain network providers. Hopster aims to strike the perfect balance between learning and fun to help preschoolers learn through TV shows and interactive learning content developed by academics in childhood education and cognitive development.
Hopster currently has over 1 million global subscribers in over 100 countries in eight languages, across direct to consumer and wholesale. This includes partnerships with the likes of Virgin Media, Vodafone, Comcast, Amazon Channels and Sky NZ.
In the future Hopster aims to expand their library of engaging content and focus on progressive learning principles, such as LGBT awareness and the importance of representation at a young age. Having acquired the learning app Curious World, Hopster is extending its content and platform to the ages of 4 to 8.
