Jeel App

Based in Saudi Arabia, Jeel App offers an innovative digital platform tailored for children aged 3 to 9, promoting Arabic language skills and cultural identity through engaging content. Jeel App is a digital platform aimed at enhancing children's educational experiences. Founded in 2020 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the company has completed three funding deals, with the most recent being a Seed round on June 27, 2024, raising USD 1. 1 mn from EdVentures.

The company is led by CEO Ahmed Sobeih and co-founded by a team including Ayoub Arab and Mohammad A. The founders have a background in technology and education, aiming to enrich children’s learning. The core offering of Jeel App is a secure digital platform designed specifically for children aged 3 to 9 years. This application features over 1,000 exclusive characters that reflect and honor Arab identity and culture, showcased across approximately 30 engaging series, along with hundreds of safe clips and games.

The app aims to enrich children's imagination and enhance their Arabic language skills through content presented in a clear and expressive manner. Additionally, Jeel App includes a dedicated section for parents called "Bridges," which provides educational resources to support child development. This segment allows parents to monitor their children's viewing time and offers performance reports to track activity within the application. The company primarily serves families in the Middle East and North Africa, focusing on Arabic-speaking audiences seeking culturally relevant educational entertainment for their children.

Jeel App generates revenue through a subscription-based model, offering various pricing plans tailored to customer needs. Subscriptions are structured on a monthly basis at USD 9. 99, an annual plan priced at USD 50, and a weekly option available for USD 5. Each subscription grants access to a parent account and three separate child accounts, facilitating personalized experiences for families.

The company's primary product is the Jeel App itself, which serves as an essential tool for parents looking to provide their children with safe and entertaining educational content. Following a successful funding round on June 27, 2024, Jeel App secured financing to support the addition of new language options in its application and to facilitate its expansion into new markets. The company is actively seeking to broaden its reach within the Middle East and North Africa, with specific plans to enhance content offerings by the end of 2024.
