"When you look at the, the children's literature market today, you see large groups of children that are excluded. When you're not able to see yourself in a children's book, it has major consequences on your view of your own value, your self esteem, your place in society." Michael Vaggalis from Keepsake Tales is on a mission. He wants all children to be able to see themselves - literally - in children's books. It's an amazing purpose, but is it a scalable business model?Today's investors are:Keith Daniel, Resilient VenturesRobbie Hardy, xElle VenturesDonald Thompson, Angel Investor and CEO of Walk WestTim McLoughlin, Cofounders CapitalStartup Stage is a production of Earfluence and hosted by Sharon Delaney McCloud.Thank you to our show sponsors:WeWorkInnovate Capital LawLenovoThe University ClubFancy This Photography
