Why Iterative invested in Ottodot
Getting quality parts manufactured is a painful process - especially when you need parts customized and fast. You have to deal with opaque pricing, lots of back and forth on specs, logistics issues, and oftentimes language and communication barriers since the manufacturer is not in the same country as you. Factorem solves all this by being a fully managed marketplace for companies that want custom parts manufactured with factories that have extra capacity. Being able to build and get feedback quickly was critical in majority software companies and we think it’s not long before the same will be solved for hardware.
For children between 7 and 12, the best online learning experience isn’t through Zoom, it’s through games. Learning over Zoom are unengaging and lack opportunities for self-expression and socializing. Games are the opposite, they’re so engaging you have to force children to stop, they’re self-directed and are built to be played with others.
The problem has always been can you make educational games fun? We think Ottodot can. In the last 4 months they created an educational game on Roblox, where players collect and answer trivia questions about animals, that’s been played by over 91,000 people.
