Tucoola's Blog

Time is running when you're having fun!

2012-01-31T13:54:00.001-08:00

Today we register our big sun to the new kindergarten for next year. The most important thing for us when we searched for the right kindergarten was if the children that will be in his kindergarten, are the same one that will go with him to school … no way! It's like he born yesterday and we already prepare to school!
Tucoola's idea started a few months after he born so … again! It's like we started running with the idea, developed the concept of the company, , seeking investment and now Tucoola is a company that in the last year visitors from 160 countries enjoyed! Soon, we will have the million user in our site!

Time is running and we are still having fun! When I'm trying to imagine the next few years, I'm smiling … I hope that you two :).

Google

2011-11-30T12:41:00.000-08:00

These days, an internet company needs 3 things:

1. To reach the users

2. To understand the user needs

3. To provide your service to the users

When Tucoola started, we focused on developing the company's tech, product and concept.

As you all know, a few months ago we exposed Tucoola with partners like Zapak and ynet and about 3 months ago, we added a b2c strategy with the thought that a lot of users would like to come directly to Tucoola.com.

It was a smart move – more than 500,000 users will visit Tucoola in Q4, 2011!

These days, Tucoola is a poplar site in the united states, south America, Brazil, Russia and more countries all over the world.

And what is the connection to the headline "Google"?

It's easy! Google is the company that allows us to get to the user, to understand their needs and the monetization process in Tucoola.com.

As a "normal" user, I thought that Google is a great search engine and a good company.

As a guy that works to promote our great company on a daily basis, I was surprised to learn about other great services that Google provides.

Thanks to Google for helping us become a better company on a daily basis!

Localization

2011-10-30T23:49:00.000-07:00

When you are a head of a company, you need to be aware of every nuance in your site.

Actually, the user analysis has become much more necessary and we are spending more time each month to deal with it – the goal is clear. We want you to be happy and satisfied with the product.

A few months ago, we learned that users from all over the world visited Tucoola.

To be specific, we are talking about users from 132 countries!

It has been clear from the first moment! We are going to translate the site and help you enjoy Tucoola even more. After all, a child wants to hear his favorite character in his own language.

But how can we do it? Tucoola's site contains thousands of words, a lot of audio material that needs dubbing.

The answer is simple – we just do it!

Less than 3 months have passed since we made the decision, and now Tucoola supports 6 languages!

English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Russian and Hebrew.

So it seems that most of the users can enjoy their native language and we promise that in the future more languages will be supported.

And like always, we promise to keep learning and to add new features that can improve your Visit at Tucoola.com.

Health

2011-08-31T12:07:00.000-07:00

Health – one word which represents the most important thing in our life.

Each one of us knows it and most of us are being challenged with this issue, but all of us seem to forget the meaning of this important word after a while.

In the last blog, I wrote about our family's plans for the summer – As a lot of smart people said before in various versions "Life is what happens while you're busy making plans".

My cute daughter, broke her thigh :( - All of the plans we made were obviously cancelled and the past two weeks were very challenging.

Thank god, she is getting better from day to day and we hope to see her standing and walking again soon.

So health, dear friends, is the most important thing in the world, for all of us, everywhere, all of the time.

Wish you all health and good luck on the first day of kindergartens and schools.

Summer Time

2011-07-30T23:46:00.000-07:00

It's summer time again!

Last summer, we had a 2.5 years old boy running around the house while his sister was less than 6 months old and the only things she needed were sleeping time and food.

This summer is different!

Our 3.5 years old knows exactly what he wants to do this summer – zoo, meeting specific friends, a family holiday, sleeping at the grandparents' house, etc.

The 1.5 years old girl knows as well – she wants to do whatever her brother does.

So now we have 2 active child that knows exactly what to do with their time and who need to arrange each request.

Some people think that it's an hard age but I prefer this stage, the child already knows what he wants to do with his time and with minor help, he knows how to manage it by his own.

Two weeks from now, we will start the race, and while some people afraid from the summer vacation, I find it as a great time to be together while changing the routine of our life.

One thing is not going to change in our routine – both of them will enjoy Tucoola on a daily basis :).

Are you a Tucoola user?

2011-06-30T12:50:00.001-07:00

Are you a Tucoola user?

When you are working on a start-up company, you don't have a lot of time to think but you do have a lot of time to dream.

You dream when you try to fall asleep.

You dream when you are on a flight.

You dream when you take a shower.

What do you dream about? About the time that users will start using the product.

If you are a good dreamer, you can dream that a friend of a friend starts using your product, the guy from the store, the children from the kindergarten, etc.

So now, we are finally enjoying the reality – people are using Tucoola's product!

The mom from the kindergarten that told me that her child played yesterday, the mom from the bank told me that her girl is playing every day, the neighbor told me that his nephew just got a new Tucoola's awards, etc.

The dream is now reality! Now it's our turn to work hard (again :)) and to keep Tucoola fun and dynamic so every time our users come to visit, they will have the time of their life!

A New Version! Already?

2011-05-29T13:04:00.000-07:00

As you all know, we have been working on Tucoola's product for more than two years.

Building a company with a small team is difficult and we have constantly found ourselves juggling between marketing activities, daily management, investors and a lot more.

The price of this activity is that you don't have time to see the whole picture at the end of each day.

I can mark each of the parameters in the company that has "paid the price" for this "life style".

The good news is that we are the internet generation and internet is fast!

Don't be confused :) I'll get to my point in a minute!

These days, we have a lot of tools to understand what is working well and what needs a final touch. The tools we have are easy to use and the required work can be done quickly (again, the internet generation).

A month ago we launched the Tucoola's Zone with our first partner. I met them a week ago and we examined the data we have collected and we understood together where we need to improve our product.

A week later a new version is already running :).

The funny thing is that we are already working on more issues that we found that need some "fine tuning".

Till then, I promise to check, test and collect any information that could, make you, our users happy and satisfied while you visit us :).

Launching Time

2011-04-30T11:09:00.000-07:00

That’s it! We are now executing our strategy, after launching our first cooperation site with one of the biggest news portals in Israel.
The feeling that new users enter the site daily and can see a link to our product and enjoy it is great!
We started less than two weeks ago, and we already see users that enter on a daily basis and enjoy our product.
Children wake up and ask for Tucoola, parents can enjoy reports (basic reports for now, but soon they will be more).
This is the reason we are here and this is what we have been dreaming about more than two years.
So what's next? First of all, we are constantly working to improve the user experience and bring more content.
In addition, we have new partners with whom we are going to launch in the next few weeks.
Soon we will expose some new stuff – Ready?

Great Time For Us!

2011-03-31T15:34:00.000-07:00

Dear friends,

These are great times for us!

After a long time under the radar and more than a year and a half of development, we are now "visible" – we serve children and parents, talk with potential partners, share our activity with the media and we are here to make our children's life better".

Our company has ongoing activities in various countries and it seems that our potential partners see in Tucoola what we have hoped they would and appreciate the differential we bring to the table.

We signed deals with our potential partners – general portals, parents portal and games portal.

We are going to launch the Tucoola's Zone with partners in Q2 and we have a lot of plans for the next coming months and a lot of great things for you.

Our team ןד so happy because we feel that everyone we are talk to these days understand the need of a product like the one we offer.

Today we have presented Tucoola in front of an audience of hundreds in New York and when we finished, people told us that they were going to use it with their children tonight. Actually, this is what we hear most of the time and this is the best feedback we can ask for.

It's hard to explain the happiness when we get an email from users that use our product and share with us their satisfaction.

Like always, we promise to become better and work hard to improve the product and keep our users happy.

One Wife, Two Kids & One Start-Up

2011-02-24T08:00:00.000-08:00

As a start-up person you can imagine that I work a lot.

Actually, it never stops.

When I'm at work, there are a lot of missions to take care of.

When I'm with the children, there are a lot of thoughts (and sometimes some great ideas that appear while playing with them at Tucoola's site and other games.

When I'm with my wife, I share with her what's new with Tucoola and look for some advise.

And when I'm asleep (not a lot L), I dream about Tucoola.

This is how my life seem to be for almost 3 years.

It started when my son was born and now when we are about to launch the new version, he has become child.

He can tell us what he wants, how and when he wants it and the big bonus for me, he is part of our target market!

That’s it, three years of thoughts and more than a year and a half later Tucoola has become an official registered company, we are going to launch the new version, which we named – Tucoola's version 1.

It's not just us anymore. It involves partners worldwide with whom we are going to launch (some of them have a version in their own language).

So what's next? As you can imagine it's Tucoola version 1.1 and then 1.2 … mobile activity, social network, etc.

What more? Some quality time with my family that are the most important thing in the world.

So see you soon and don't forget, soon you will be able to enjoy some family time in front of the computer with your family :).

Happy New Year!

2010-12-28T05:31:00.001-08:00

Dear Tucoola friends, it's been a while since I blogged.

2010 was a great year for us – we had so many challenges and there are still a lot ahead.

These days, our site is on-line and people all over the world enjoy Tucoola's concept.

Soon we will launch the Tucoola's Zone with various partners worldwide and you will be able to enjoy it in your native language and with your local portal.

At this moment we are working on a new product that will help us remember and even manage our life as a family.

We believe that in 2011,Tucoola's users will visit the site on a daily basis and enjoy the various tools.

In addition, as we promised, our site becomes bigger everyday with new games, new videos and a lot of content for you.

We hope you will be part of our big family in 2011 and we hope to be part of yours.

Happy New Year!

Tucoola is now open for business!

2010-10-31T14:01:00.000-07:00

That’s it!

Tucoola is now open for business!

It took more over two years of dreaming and a lot of challenges on the way, but now the dream has become reality.

These days you can find games, a paint zone, a video zone, a together zone with cool features and more.

After we collect some data from the games, the information center will be available too.

And we are not going to rest there. you will be able to find more information for parents, content for children and parents and a lot of activities.

Thanks for being part of the process till now and we hope that you will be with us as part of our development just like we hope to be part of your children progress.

Good luck to all of us!

Thanks!

2010-09-25T14:11:00.000-07:00

Hi,

These are the last days before the launch of Tucoola and it is time to say thanks!

Those are crazy days that start very early and continue till late, very late.

A lot of people are involved in the process and you can see the passion and the energy in each and every of them.

We haven't finished yet, but I think that it's time for some thanks:

The academic team that helped to build all the concept.

The designers that have built a new language – Tucoola's language.

The lawyer that works hard to complete all the legal issues needed for the site.

The partners that supply various content to the site.

The developers that have been eating a lot of pizza in the last days while fixing bugs.

And my family that have been there for me from the beginning through all the hard times.

They are my fuel, my love and even my testing team :).

Thanks for all!

Get ready for the next post – it will contain the "green light" to start using Tucoola!

Summer Time

2010-08-31T08:53:00.000-07:00

It's summer time and for the first time I have 2 kids during summer …

In addition, it's the first time since high school that I have "summer time".

Most of the parents are afraid from the summer vacation and talk about it all the time.

My wife and I had a plan – to try to do whatever we can to enjoy it.

We had three and a half weeks to fill with fun time :)

So what we did spend our summer?

Safari, playgrounds, coloring pages, computer games, books, Lego, Playmobile, beach and 4 days in a hotel with swimming pools and a lot more.

That’s it – today is the last day of the "summer time" and it's time to get back to kindergarten.

Believe it or not, we had a great time as parents and as a family and as my wife said to me: "We didn't have enough time to do all the things I planned".

Next summer, it will be even happier, because our children will be able to enjoy Tucoola as well as part of the summer time activity.

To be or not to be (and where)

2010-08-19T01:46:00.000-07:00

We are on still working on our new version – as always, we are adding a lot of new features to the product.

We asks ourselves regarding each feature whether it is the one everyone is waiting for, or not :).

A few weeks ago, my son (2.5 years old) discovered my iPhone.

He can unlock the iPhone, navigate to HIS page and choose an App, he knows how to return to the page again (through home) and then go to pics and watch them.

So, just like we knew 2 years ago, we need to bring Tucoola to all of the platforms.

So where do we start? iPhone, Android, Ovi?

And what about social networks? Facebook, Myspace, Google Me?

And let's talk about the platform – PSP, Wii, Xbox?

Don't worry, Tucoola's strategy and vision is to be in all of these places and platforms.

We will check all the options and get back to you soon with product that will be there for you – at your house, car, flights and all over!

The Big Day

2010-07-30T01:01:00.001-07:00

We are getting ready for the big day and we still found time to think about the next stages.

As a start-up company we have a vision.
Our vision, is to grow with you as parents, to grow with our children and to be an on-line home for parents and children.

It's really easy to imagine, what needs to be there:
The children would like to have various content, that fits their age and flavor.
Games, video channel, stories, coloring pages and everything they expect to find in the Web.

Parents will have the confidence that their children are safe and still having fun, learning and progressing, in their development progress.

What about a community? Yes, we believe that today any one of us can help each other to be better: better parents, better children and better persons.

We will bring the technology and all of us will bring the information and the tools to do so.

I find myself smiling when I imagine it – Tucoola's product in a year or two will be all we asked for as a parents and more.

Do you have the patience to wait? I don’t :)

Games, Games & Games

2010-07-15T01:26:00.000-07:00

There are so many games in our world!

As you already know, soon Tucoola will launch the first commercial version.

As you can imagine, we are working days and nights on it with the desire to bring you the best service.

As part of it, we are dealing with the information center, improvement of the analyzes engine, content issues and games.

If someone will take a look at what we are doing, he will tell himself that we are playing all day :).

The mission of finding the appropriate game for each development group and to recognize the skills the game is dealing with our academic group, it's challenging.

There so many games that can be great for children but some of them ruined are because they contain some bad characters, others contain violence and some are not simply appropriate for children.

You can count on Tucoola's team to make sure that the games that you will find in our catalog will target your children's taste and will benefit there development progress.

Have a great summer, before it ends we will be there with news!

Tucoola's team

Our Time

2010-06-30T12:48:00.000-07:00

In times likes today, the hardest mission is to manage our time.

We have so many things to do, and it is very difficult.

It is even harder when you try to be part of the family during week days.

Unfortunately, no one has developed a startup that you can gets two more hours a day for $9.95 but there are a lot of tools that can help with time management.

In a time like this, when Tucoola's team is working hard on the first commercial version of our Tucoola's Zone, we found ourselves working days and nights to provide the best service.

One of the things that we are working, on which should be available in the next few months is activities for the parents and the children.

So, sorry! We can't get you two more hours a day for $9.95, but we can help you with 2 hours of fun with your children!

Enjoy!

Retro Games - Do you want to have some?

2010-06-15T07:01:00.000-07:00

I have a thing for retro games.

It began a few years ago when I found in Bangkok the Donkey Kong game from my childhood.

It cost a lot and it didn't work – I decided that I'll find a working game and pay whatever needed just to have the ability to give it to my son one day.

So, now I have it, and I also have my old Pac Man from the 80's and even a box of Atari.

So I have a shelf with all the retro games, and it means more to me than most of the things I have – it's my childhood games!

After all the "80's mobile devices", most of us "moved on" to computer such as – Commodore 64, 286, 386, etc.

The games in the computer were the funniest ever – we played and played and played all day and all night.

Now I have the bonus to "play" in the game world – it's a great environment, and we enjoy it a lot.

As a service that will be there for children from the first day in the gaming world, we hope that we will help our children to create great memories, just like we enjoy them today.

PS – these days we are working on our Fan Page in Facebook – "Tucoola" – You can already search for it and "like" it.

Anyway, soon we will give away some retro prizes such as … Donley Kong, Pac Man and more :-)

Congratulations Tucoola X3 times

2010-05-31T11:59:00.000-07:00

It's been a while since we started to work on Tucoola's project - actually, two years since the idea came up.

We have made a long and hard way to this point.

Our potential partners – the games developers and the distributors understood the potential, and now they are partners (and not "potential").

Our investors understood the potential, and now they are part of Tucoola.

Our service providers understood the potential, and it seems that they will enjoy the growth of Tucoola one day.

But something new has happened in the last months.

The media discovered Tucoola – it happened without using PR services, without extra marketing, without a big covering of a leading blog – it just happened.

3 valued organization chose Tucoola as one of the most promising in the world!

In the last two months Tucoola was announced as a finalist of "innovate!2010"

Winner of mini "SeedCamp" in Tel Aviv

Finalist of "Red Herring 100" in Europe

So, we didn't launch our commercial version of the Tucoola's Zone, but as you can understand, the professionals out there that review hundreds of companies every year understood that we are here to make a change.

We hope that soon, when all of you will be able to join the Tucoola's Zone, get information about your children's development progress and tools to enhance it, we will walk with the same feeling – we are changing something together in this world – our children's future.

A few more months to go!

2010-05-12T02:17:00.001-07:00

These days, we are in the middle of the developing of the new version of the Tucoola's Zone which will be launching in the next few months.

We already have tons of games for children.
We have finished define the up-to-date algorithm.
We finished planning and designing the new information center for parents.

And now, our developers are working hard on encoding it, and soon you will be able to enjoy it.

The days are full of work to verify that you will get the best service ever.
The night is full of thoughts about the things we need to add to our first commercial version.

So soon, you will be able to enjoy the Tucoola's Zone all over the world, and we believe that you will find it a required and helpful service that will be there to help us with our challenges with the children.

I believe that you will hear a lot of news from us in the next posts, and we hope that you will be happy as we are when you will find out who our partners are and where you will be able to enjoy the Tucoola's Zone.

We hope that you are expecting it as like we are :)

Startup Persons

2010-04-30T13:03:00.000-07:00

You have probably noticed that we talk a lot about our life as "startup persons".

Well, It's really easy to explain.

We wake up in the morning, press the "power button" of the iPhone and read the new mails.

Then we run to the computer, and while we brush our teeth, we start to answer the mails.

After a few hours or so, we remember that we need to eat something (most of the time it will be Junk-food) – This part happens twice a day … (late noon / after noon and late night …).

Between the late afternoon and the evening we try to play with our children, enjoy the family and from time to time (2 minutes to 5 minutes), we re-checking emails on the iPhone :).

After making bath to the children, we have "only 2 mails" that we need to work on, and then it takes about 5 hours or so :).

In the late night, we go to sleep and wake up to the … mails.

We work like this all week, weekends, holidays, etc., and it's unbelievable – we are enjoying every moment – yes! The start-up passion is deep in our blood.

And it's time to confess – it's all about the partners in our life, that understand, help, support and love.

After all, how many people call their husband/wife and shout at him/her to "stay by the computer so you will clean your calendar from the missions of today"?

How many people can understand the ups and downs (that happen a lot …)? Etc., etc., etc.

So if you asked me for one advice about how to build a start-up, I'll tell you that it starts at home, with your partner for life - this is

the first building block.

So thanks to my dear wife for being there for me!

Congratulations!

2010-04-21T09:06:00.000-07:00

This is what I call great weekend!

My wife gave birth last weekend, and now we have a new daughter in our family.

Handling with the second child is different from the beginning – The way and time we started to get organize (we packed our hospital bug on the day of the birth and not two months before), the knowledge of all the process (pain, hospital bureaucracy, my wife's best friend – Epidural, etc.).

Since the moment it started, we are thinking about our firstborn – who will be with him, what to tell him, does he understand and millions of other thoughts.

And then, she came! She is part of this world and her reality is different. She is part of an active, acting family with a daily routine that we can't change (because we need to be very careful with the firstborn).
And from the moment she got home, she is exposed to the constant noise of the computer, TV, noisy games, etc. I'm sure that she will have the ability to sleep when there is noise in the area J.

I still can't tell you how much harder it is, but based on all the feedbacks of the last year, it's going to be hard.

The one thing that never changes … is the love!
Our hurt seems to be so elastic – you think that you love someone so much and there is no room for more love in the room. But, from the moment we saw her, we doubled the capacity of our hearts, and now it belongs to both of our children who will do everything needed to love them, protect them and be there for them.

Congratulations!

The Game's Room

2010-03-30T15:02:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, I had the chance to see all my nephews.
Like always, they run to the computer room in my parents' house to do what they always do – play.

As you can imagine, the big ones play while the young ones look and wait for their turn (which arrives after several rounds of the big ones … You can see the passion of the young ones to be a part of the games activity.

However, something in this situation is not right! Most of the portals offer plenty of games for children with no age filtering - this is what we (the parents) are trying to avoid.

The result is young children playing games that do not fit them – they contain violent and inappropriate content and sometimes difficult games that the young ones can't deal with.

So, this is part of what Tucoola is about – We are bringing the children the right games that fit their age and in addition that fits their level in the various skills. The bonus is the "connected games" tool, which exposes the children to content that helps them to improve their specific skills.

This is what we believe that young children need to find in the games arena in their first years – The years we can still direct them, influence them and help them manage in this world.

Fatherhood

2010-03-19T08:47:00.000-07:00

It seems like all of us are parents.

Tucoola is a company that deals with children – you would think that this is the reason that we begin all our meetings talking about children...

I don't think so!

I think that it's quite simple – all of us have changed since the minute that this magic began.

The first few days, we were in shock!

The next few weeks, we were tired!

And then, it became our life - a new life!!!

Now that I have a kid and in the next few weeks a new baby girl, it seems like my life have prepared me to the moment I became a father.

Our influences begin from the good and bad things we saw at home, at our extended family, friends' houses, etc.

And then, one day, you grow up and you start to think about yourself as a parent – I'll do this and I'll do that, and then, your love of your life appears and – It happens, you have a baby .

In the beginning they don't do anything besides crying and sleeping.

After a few months they start to respond – the first smile is worth more than any smile you've received up till that moment.

And then they start walking, talking, developing and even bossing you around like no manager did before.

So let's go back to the beginning – we talk about them all day, because they are our life!

And from February 7th, 2008, I found a new life and a new purpose – Fatherhood !

Fulfillment Issue

2010-02-21T12:04:00.000-08:00

Most of Tucoola's team don't come from the games world.
In the beginning, I lost sleep over this. Now I understand that this was one of the best things that happened to us.
Like in all other segments, a fresh point of view can generate new ideas, new products and new business.
Tucoola has become the start-up that everyone says "how come no one thought about it before" – I always had a dream to have a start-up that "took pleasure" from this praise.
When you combine the fresh point of view and the "praises", you get Tucoola.

Our status, less than a year after we obtained our first investment, is unbelievable:
We successfully transformed our algorithm from the notebook (a real one :)) to the technology and Tucoola's servers.
We have immense success with the games developers that view us as the new generation of distributors and a new money maker.
We have colossal success with the distributors and the portals that acknowledge Tucoola's benefit to them – innovation, new target market and new revenue stream.
We succeeded with the experts that join our belief that we supply an innovative way of delivering information to parents regarding their children's development progress and provide tools to improve it.

In spite of these successes, there is still a lot to do and a lot to prove:
We are still working on the new version of the Tucoola's Zone (the one for launch).
We are still working in the content arena to find the best content & partners for our target market.
We are still working on a new fund round and it seems to be challenging even in a time like this and even for a (so called) mature start-up.

These days the company is just like the sentence that my mom heard from my teachers – "The kid has potential but he needs to fulfill it".
I hope that soon, all these teachers think that both of us (the company and me) are OK on the "fulfillment issue" :).

My life as a father

2010-02-07T13:34:00.000-08:00

I'm a father of one and soon I'll be of two.

When my firstborn arrived my life have changed like I couldn't even imagine.

Like all parents, my wife and I enjoy receiving compliments like: "he is great", "he is very mature" and we smile a lot because people think that he's smart.

Like everyone, everyday I find myself thinking about my family, work, health, money and yes, about my son's development progress.
Yes, this is part of my new life as a parent. I have evacuated an area in my brain when my child was born and now it is dedicated to thinking about him.
At the end of the day, it's really simple! I just want to hear that he is OK and on the right track. This is what Tucoola is about.

A few days ago, I had a meeting with two senior lecturers.
I'm trying to meet with as many experts as I can from the academic world in order to present Tucoola and get some feedback.

We have a great advisory board with the best people from every field in the Academy world, but still, it's important for me to share our life work with more experts, get more feedback, obtain new ideas, etc.

After meeting dozens of experts, it's official! They think that Tucoola is a nature product of the technology development in our days. They don’t think that it's too mechanical, they aren't threatened by Tucoola's technology and they understand that we don't want to take anyone's place - We just want to use the tools that the technology has given us and use it to understand and help our children.

Everyone agrees that monitoring and measuring children while playing games using Tucoola platform is a great solution for the new generation.
We are all interested in learning about our children's development progress, especially monitoring each child's personal advancement from the beginning to the end (with our famous graph that presents the development).

My son will be 2 years old this week and it's seems that soon, as a father, I'll be able to enjoy Tucoola :)!

Welcome

2010-01-19T03:02:00.000-08:00

After a year of experience, we've decided at Tucoola, to share our adventures with you.

The last year was full of activity - between refining Tucoola's concept, finance investments and travelling, we were not able to find the time to sit and divulge all of the details.

A new site is always a good opportunity to "do it".

We promise to write and bring you everything new in the games arena and share with all of you our activities with various companies – from Us to the Netherlands, from France to Bosnia, from Turkey to the UK and from Brazil to Belgium.

So what is Tucoola?

Tucoola is focused on developing a platform and monitoring products aimed at enhancing the basic skills of children aged 2-8 by using popular on-line games, while at the same time enabling parents to monitor their kid’s development progress by reviewing parent’s reports.

Tucoola provides a technology platform, enabling game developers to integrate Tucoola's algorithm into their existing games without the need to make any changes to the existing game's code.

The Tucoola’s Zone offers Websites & game developers a new business model and new revenue stream - Tucoola's innovative zone provides on-line Flash games for children and an Information Center for parents.

Since we don't develop games and don't distribute the Tucoola's Zone to end users, we are working with plenty of games developers and distributers worldwide on a licensing & revenue share model.

Our platform allows games developers to integrate our algorithm in their exciting games in less than one hour while distributers can add the Tucoola's Zone as a white label to their site in a simple process. These reasons give rise to Tucoola's activity and helped us to approach the biggest players in the games industry in only a few months.

Every year 138 million babies are born! Parents are trying to make correct choices that will be beneficial for the development of their children - Tucoola offers an innovative solution for this challenge.

Researchers discovered that "time spent online among kids' increased by 63% in the last five years".

43% of the parents indicated that they don't play video games with their kids at all while 30% spend less than an hour a week playing video games with their children.

Tucoola is here for the children and their parents – we monitor, measure and improve children's skills using quality and filtered content.

We promise to return soon and inform you about our latest developments and bring some interesting guests to the blog.

Thanks,

Tucoola's Team!
