MyFirstApp Enters Agreement to Acquire TalesTime in Line with Existing Acquisition Strategy

Stockholm, 2023-09-29

In line with the operations and strategy of MyFirstApp Sweden AB (publ) (“MyFirstApp”), we are pleased to announce that we have today entered into an agreement to acquire 100 percent of TalesTime AB (“TalesTime”). TalesTime operates an AI-based SaaS online service. TalesTime provides its users with personalized stories and allows users to generate customized stories according to their preferences, based on the latest AI technology. The platform currently has around 3000 free users and sells the service both via subscription and individual purchases.

The ambition with the acquisition, besides further developing the underlying assets, is to strengthen MyFirstApp’s portfolio of brands and offer the group's existing customer base new services and platforms that can contribute to both entertainment and education. TalesTime currently employs one staff member, and together with the current organization within MyFirstApp, we see synergies in integrating knowledge and experience into the platform.

This acquisition marks the group's first advancement into educational areas that include reading, representing an expansion beyond our previous primary focus on mathematics. This is also in line with the company's strategy to offer AI-driven educational material. In tandem with the company's work and development of the Evolear service, we add with TalesTime additional breadth to our product portfolio, which is strengthened by artificial intelligence.

 

Today's customers are primarily parents who have registered for the service. The goal is to grow TalesTime through organic growth, synergies with other platforms within the group, and through additional acquisitions in the future.

The acquisition of TalesTime is initially not expected to have any significant financial impact on MyFirstApp, either in terms of costs or revenues, as the platform has recently been launched. Nevertheless, we believe that TalesTime aligns perfectly with our strategy to develop AI-driven educational platforms and expect it to contribute to the group's continued success and growth in the long term.
