Erase All Kittens develops a web-based game designed to teach children professional digital skills and inspire girls to code. The platform has reached players across numerous countries and is utilised in thousands of schools.
Erase All Kittens has secured £720k in a seed funding round led by Twinkl Educational Publishing. The raise also saw participation from Christian Reyntjens of A Black Square and angel investors including a founder of Shazam.
