Education and learning technology (Edtech) sector specialists that could deliver value-add would be considered as preferred investors, he said.
The size of the stake for investors will depend on negotiation, Chairman and co-founder, Kim Seng Teh added. Financial advisors with suitable referrals would be entertained, he said.
Half of the proceeds will be set aside for sales and marketing expenses globally, 35% will be spent on product development of advanced features such as artiícial intelligence, scoring algorithm, adaptive learning and multiplayer games, and 15% will go to operating expenses, Goh said.
Zapzapmath is a mathematics learning platform for kids ranging from kindergarten to Grade 6, via a series of online games. It is based out of Hong Kong and Malaysia but with its development team mainly based in Malaysia, Teh said.
