Michel Pratte, chief revenue officer at Boat Rocker and new MarcoPolo board member, said in a statement, “The children’s media space is evolving rapidly, and Boat Rocker is excited to partner with a category innovator like MarcoPolo. In addition to Boat Rocker’s investment, both companies have formed an exclusive strategic production and distribution partnership on original animated television and digital series.

Hsu added, “Boat Rocker is one of the world’s leading video entertainment companies, and partnering with them to bring our video products to life on a global basis is an amazing opportunity that we could not be more thrilled about.” “This is a significant step toward advancing our vision of making early childhood education accessible to every child in the world,” said Yasin, in a statement. Nazar Yasin, MarcoPolo’s cofounder and executive chairman, and Justin Hsu, CEO of MarcoPolo, started the company to put a “preschool in your pocket.” Yasin formerly worked at Goldman Sachs and Tiger Global, while Hsu was previously founder of PMG Financial, which he sold to Zurich Financial.
