Tinybop Inc

Making toys for tomorrow.

Founded in 2012 by Raul Gutierrez, Tinybop is a studio building a series of iOS apps about the universal questions kids wonder about: what they’re made of, and how and why things work. Our apps are digital toys that model the real world, and we hope they delight and educate kids around the globe.

Each app springs from the idea that kids are born explorers who learn better by trying things out for themselves. We design our apps to encourage open play with physics-based animations, sophisticated sound design, and artificial intelligence. It’s a balancing act: we want to offer enough structure so kids suss out each app’s internal logic, but we also want kids to experience the joys of stumbling onto secrets, making connections, and figuring how they work on their own.

Our growing team (19+!) comes from many disciplines, but we draw our inspiration from the books, toys, and games of our own childhoods.

Our headquarters are in Brooklyn, NY. We closed our seed round of funding in 2012 and an A-round in 2013. Our investors include RRE, Two Sigma, KEC Ventures, Kapor Capital (Mitch Kapor), and Brooklyn Bridge Ventures (Charlie O’Donnell).
