Startup Funding Club led the pre-seed round to support product development and market expansion.
The pre-seed round was led by Collab+Sesame with participation from Techstars London.
"I was a huge fan of Sesame Street as a child, and couldn't imagine a more perfect lead investor than Collab+Sesame, who share our values of kindness, communication, learning through play, and humour. We're looking forward to working closely with Sesame Workshop to help us develop Banjo Robinson into an even more valuable experience for children and families."

Gumi Cryptos Capital led the pre-seed round, which included participation from Xpring, LuneX and Blockchain Valley Ventures.
"Due to their complexity, passwords have become the weakest means of authentication. Not only are billions compromised in breaches every year – hackers are also figuring out how to bypass two-factor authentication systems that rely in-part on something the user knows- like passwords and recovery phrases,"
GC Angels backed the pre-seed round to support the launch of the digital platform and fund content expansion.
"GC Angels have been great to work with; at the stage we were at they were crucial. We’re looking to grow both the content and userbase, helping as many players as possible which the investment is enabling us to do. Years of hard work collecting masses of content and building an appropriate site to host it can now come to fruition with the GC Angels funding the dissemination process."
Apadmi Ventures has backed the childcare platform to support its expansion into Manchester.
"Tracey’s created a solution to a very real problem – the childcare crisis – and it’s been fantastic to work in partnership with her and the rest of the Student Nannies team. We get a lot of entrepreneurs approach us for investment, but her drive and ambition really stood out to us."
