THE PROBLEM IS, kids are not learning enough about consent and gender issues to understand what options they have. and even when parents and adults want to teach these ideas, they don’t have the tools and resources to help them

The Toy Industry Gap:
We already design educational toys to teach academic related subjects and skills, it’s time for us to open up the market for play products to inspire fundamental beliefs and healthy social behaviors.
We care about how our children think more than what knowledge they have, which is precisely why this is a much bigger market

The trend of using social issue as advertisement had been increasingly successful, in a survey, 53% of women said they bought a product because they liked how the brand and its advertising approaches gender issues

No one is doing exactly what we are doing, which is teaching a habit and mindset.
But there is increasing interest in the topic of LGBT rights and feminism.
Most of our competitors are only touching the surface of the topic.
A lot of problems that our competitors have is that they don't have a good balance of play vs education
-> We took caution in that and made sure that our game is first and foremost fun.
These toys are all huge successes and the best seller of these play product companies because of their gender-inclusive message.
-> consumers are eager for products like this.
