Dizzywood Takes $1 Million Series A
Tiburon, CA based Dizzywood aims to “inspire young people to use their imagination and have fun, while learning real-life values and skills.” Their online virtual world/ gaming platform offers creative, story-driven play with “challenging activities” that teach children to cooperate with others and develop cognitive skills.
The company has a decent pedigree among its founders. Scott Arpajian is a former SVP of CNET Download.com and Sean Kelly co-founded Wallop. Third co-founder Ken Marden is a game designer and a published children’s book author.
The company plans to use the capital to further develop and expand content and services. Dizzywood launched in November 2007.
