Description

One of the reasons why us humans are so successful as a species is because of our amazing capacity to learn throughout our lives. One can pick up a subject to learn all about it, but it becomes a bit difficult as we age. However, seniors over 60 years old can learn and participate in activities via the UK-based startup Mirthy’s online interactive community. The startup has also raised around $1.1 million (£800,000 approx) in its latest funding round.

About

The startups’ goal is to eventually become a “go-to platform for all over 60s’ social, physical and financial needs.” Currently, the startup claims to have over 35,000 users on its platform, in just about a year after launching during the pandemic. He further notes that JoyClub works prominently with third parties to deliver its products and services while Mirthy has exclusive control over its content. With the goal to grow by over 150,000 over the next 12 months, Mirthy will use its tech to offer new experiences to its users. Mirthy is an interactive community for people over 60 year old and it offers a variety of live-streamed activities from fitness classes to cooking demonstrations, and history lectures to book clubs.
