EIT Digital Master School Alumna raises 250.000 euro with startup imagiLabs

imagiLabs, a female founded startup that makes coding more accessible to young girls, has raised 250,000 euro in pre-seed funding to further equip the next generation of working women with critical coding skills.

Among the angel investors is Eros Resmini, Founder & Managing Partner at The Mini Fund. He says to be "delighted" to support imagiLabs on its mission to bridge the gender divide in tech. "The company has created a vibrant community for young girls who want to learn to code. As the proud father of a daughter, I know that fun and social learning processes can foster passions that last a lifetime." Other investors are David Baszucki, CEO of gaming giant Roblox; members of Atomico's Angel Program; and Propel Capital, the investment arm of Stockholm's leading tech incubator Sting.   

The financing will be used to maintain imagiLabs' international growth and to continue to foster an engaged community of young girl coders, who use the imagiLabs apps to learn from each other, share coding tips and designs, and build relationships. CEO Dora Palfi, one of the three female founders: "We will be using it to expand the capabilities of the imagiLabs app and generate more learning content for our community so that we can even better deliver on our promise of making learning to code fun! We plan to reach thousands more teenage girls with the joy of coding in the coming months."
