NEW YORK & SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cleverywhere, a next generation educational interactive gaming company to inspire K-12 students, completed the elite BoomStartUp Accelerator that mentors the most promising EdTech companies in the nation. Cleverywhere’s role-play adventure games, which have been in development for more than a year, reside on a kid-inspired, teacher-influenced gaming platform to engage students both in and out of the classroom while improving standardized test scores, and above all, having fun while learning. Parents can participate too by tracking their child's progress. Cleverywhere is offering its first kid-tested app for students to enhance math and vocabulary skills during the summer learning bridge.
Selected out of hundreds of candidates, Cleverywhere and eight cohort companies were immersed in a 12-week intensive business mentoring program at BoomStartUp. Each company received $20,000 in seed capital, $100,000 worth of business services along with daily one-on-one mentoring.
“The BoomStartUp Accelerator offered Cleverywhere a special opportunity to intensely analyze my company and refine our vision and product strategy,” said Clancy Marshall, CEO and founder of Cleverywhere. “Our goal is to provide games accessible by any student in every corner of the nation. Beginning today, we are offering ThemePark to students. In addition, we will complete the deployment of ThemePark in several school districts in New Jersey and California for the 2016-2017 school year.”
“Cleverywhere is one of our leading startups and we expect the company’s products to be embraced by schools nationwide,” said Sumner Douglas, Managing Director at BoomStartUp. “Clancy and her team are ready for the challenge of launching and growing a business with their goal of making learning fun using the enticing world of gaming to improve and enhance the education of students around the country.”
Cleverywhere’s ThemePark is an interactive challenge game in a charming, but impactful pixel-style that enables students to create an avatar to fight monsters, earn a pet, and rebuild an old, dilapidated theme park to its original glory to win the game.
