Summary

Mike Rizkalla, a former Newfoundland and Labrador resident, co-founded Snorble, a screen-free companion designed for children aged two to seven. The toy uses a set library of content, sensors and activities such as play-based learning, yoga and bedtime routines; it has no camera or generative AI. The company says it has raised $8 million and is raising more money for inventory and marketing, with a campaign planned to sell 25,000 more units next year.
