Snorble has new investors. FinestLove VC, which was cofounded by Peter Vesterbacka, co-founder of Rovio, and tech executive Kustaa Valtonen have backed the kids’ tech brand.
Valtonen spent more than 13 years at HP and Microsoft before spending more than a decade helping fund and expand startups internationally.
“After meeting with Mike, hearing the vision, and seeing the technology firsthand, I knew immediately that they had something very special,” Valtonen says. “We are excited about Snorble and plan to support them on this journey.”
This investment from FinestLove VC isn’t just another step toward closing our round. It’s an endorsement from two incredible individuals who have achieved phenomenal success. They understand the potential of what we’re doing and have played critical roles in similar ventures. We are honored to have them join us on this journey.”
Vesterbacka is best known for co-founding Rovio, the company behind Angry Birds, but has also co-founded initiatives including HP Bazaar, Mobile Monday, Slush, and Startup Sauna. He also serves as an adjunct professor of innovation and entrepreneurship at Tongji University in China. In 2011, Time Magazine named him one o the 100 most influential people in the world.
“I had the good fortune of seeing Snorble in person and was astonished at how well it worked, even in less-than-ideal conditions,” Vesterbackasays. “After building many successful businesses, you can spot a rocket ship — Snorble is just that. We expect a massive hit in 2025.”
Both Vesterbacka and Valtonen see the potential for Snorble to become a global leader in educational technology.
