Thank you for taking the time to read my message and your incredible work with Faith Driven Entrepreneur. Your dedication to supporting founders across Europe and MENA, and your mission to connect faith-driven investors with faith-driven entrepreneurs, is a beautiful reflection of Kingdom stewardship. What you do creates space for visionaries like us to keep building — even before the world fully sees what God is unfolding.

At Kisszu, everything we do is to ignite and foster children’s full potential through the power of storytelling, community, and Embodied Adaptive-AI experiences. We are building a new category at the intersection of media, education, and robotics, deeply rooted in faith and values. And while we are still in the pre-seed stage, we are already seeing powerful momentum.

Over 240 families have pre-ordered our first product, an animated children’s book that introduces the story of our main character and her super-smart friend Kisszu — our future flagship robot. This traction came before launching our front-store, and even at this scale, our business is profitable.

Since 2020, we have invested €730,000 of our own private capital into deep R&D for the hand-made artistically illustrations and animations, the Embodied Adaptive-AI educational robot, but also a non-violent, healing-through dancing and music video game called Kisszu World Symphony. This makes us a unique EdTech startup combining transmedia storytelling, educational robotics, and strategic community building, including the launch of the Kisszu Environmental and Biodiversity Award to engage schools and families in creative, real-world missions of care for our world, as the heroes in our stories.

We recently signed Jamala, the number one female artist in Ukraine, as the official voice for the Ukrainian version of our animated audio-book and Kisszu Ambassador. Her cultural reach exceeds 30 million Ukrainians globally. We are now preparing to pitch Tori Kelly (English version) and Shakira (Spanish version) through mutual connections, both as potential voices for our audio-book and, through a profit-sharing agreement, as future Kisszu Ambassadors helping to spread our vision, values, and products worldwide.

Now, as we prepare to launch in July, we are seeking a €750,000 pre-seed investment to continue funding R&D, cover production costs, OPEX, and marketing efforts. The runway from our initial personal investment is coming to an end, and this next step is essential and critical to maintain momentum and scale impact. While we are based in Germany and Finland with a strong team of faith-driven co-founders and partners, we are open to relocating operationally to the UK if it means finding the right investors and strategic partners.

While I cannot ask you directly, I hope and pray that this resonates with your heart and that you might feel called to help us connect with the right faith-aligned investors who believe in big, bold, and beautiful missions like this one.

As the author behind the Kisszu Universe, I often reflect on the legacy of C.S. Lewis and The Chronicles of Narnia. I wonder, if he had stood before investors long before his stories became widely known, sharing a vision to inspire generations through storytelling infused with the love and sacrifice of Jesus, how would the world have responded? I do not claim to walk in his shoes, but I carry the same prayer. That these stories, books, and technologies might point children and families to love, light, and redemption through educational experiences.

Thank you again for everything you are doing. If any part of this speaks to you, I would love to connect with you again and share more of what we are building at Kisszu.

Dear Sara-Louise
