Snorble secures strategic investment from FinestLove VC to drive global edtech innovation
Educational technology company Snorble has announced a strategic investment from FinestLove VC, a venture capital firm founded by Peter Vesterbacka, former CMO of Rovio and creator of Angry Birds, and technology executive Kustaa Valtonen.
The funding is part of Snorble’s ongoing seed round and represents the first investment for FinestLove VC.
The partnership aims to accelerate Snorble’s global growth and further its mission to revolutionize children’s education through interactive, AI-driven experiences. Snorble’s smart companion technology is designed to support cognitive, emotional, and physical development.
“After meeting with Mike, hearing the vision, and seeing the technology firsthand, I knew immediately that they had something very special,” said Valtonen. “We are excited about Snorble and plan to support them on this journey.”
Vesterbacka echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the potential of Snorble’s technology:
“I had the good fortune of seeing Snorble in person and was astonished at how well it worked, even in less-than-ideal conditions. After building many successful businesses, you can spot a rocket ship—Snorble is just that. We expect a massive hit in 2025.”
The partnership provides not only funding but also strategic expertise. Vesterbacka, known for his role in turning Angry Birds into a global phenomenon with over 3 billion downloads, brings extensive experience in scaling technology ventures internationally. Valtonen, with over 13 years at HP and Microsoft and a track record of supporting startups, adds further insight into global technology markets.
Mike Rizkalla, CEO of Snorble, described the investment as a significant milestone:
“This investment from FinestLove VC isn’t just another step toward closing our round. It’s an endorsement from two incredible individuals who have achieved phenomenal success. They understand the potential of what we’re doing and have played critical roles in similar ventures. We are honored to have them join us on this journey.”
