The judges said that their unique approach to teaching number fluency to children “is set to make a significant difference to children’s abilities to work with numbers, a crucial aspect for the UK’s future”.
They added: “Commendably, the founders’ willingness to take the risk in the educational sector reflects a remarkable start-up journey, showcasing dedication and resilience.”
The programme has more than 1,500 short teaching videos that children and parents watch together, before completing the follow-up questions and receiving online feedback.

“Our mission is to improve life chances by providing schools and parents with a curriculum and learning platform that ensures children are fluent and confident with numbers.”
