Butterfly Learnings, a health tech startup that provides evidence-based development and behavioural solutions for children’s well-being, has received $1.5 million in seed funding from Insitor Partners, 9Unicorns, Venture Catalysts, Fondation Botnar, UTIL Stiftung, and CIIE.CO.
The company currently has four physical centers in Mumbai and Thane and aims to use the funds to expand their physical footprint across India and build and scale the platform.
Founded in 2021 by Dr. Sonam Kothari and Dr. Abhishek Sen, Butterfly Learnings uses techniques like Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA), Speech Therapy, and Occupational Therapy via an integrated in-person and digital platform to improve behavioural health and solve developmental issues for children in the 2-8 year age bracket.
They offer intensive coaching programs with trained behavioural therapists, pediatric neurologist consultation and guidance, evidence-based personalized programs for children, guidance and training for parents and caregivers, and much more.
With their deep knowledge of children’s development and evidence-based methods, they hope to deliver improved clinical outcomes to over 2,000 children and families in 2022.
“The need for impactful solutions in the behavioural health space is unquestioned. We believe Butterfly Learnings has incredible potential to provide transformative support to young people in India and possibly beyond,” said Antoine Veyrassat, Head of Venture Philanthropy at Fondation Botnar, in a press release.
