GALAKTO<\/a>, chil\u00addren can sim\u00adply start lis\u00adten\u00ading with\u00adout any com\u00adpli\u00adcated set-up and, above all, offline, as an inter\u00adnet con\u00adnec\u00adtion is not required. The radio play in the form of a token snaps into place mag\u00adnet\u00adi\u00adcally and the con\u00adtent is played imme\u00addi\u00adately. At home, GALAKTO ensures the best sound qual\u00adity with its loud\u00adspeaker sys\u00adtem. The player can also be used on the move. The Twist\u2019n\u2019Go sys\u00adtem allows chil\u00addren to take their GALAKTO with them when they travel: sim\u00adply turn off the player, plug in the head\u00adphones and off they go. <\/p>\nTimo Dries, Co-Founder Galakto: \u201cPar\u00adents want sto\u00adries, not extra charges. Chil\u00addren need a reli\u00adable audio player, not another screen. Galakto is the cas\u00adsette recorder for the next generation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Over 300 tokens are cur\u00adrently avail\u00adable. These include sto\u00adries from the Uni\u00adver\u00adsal Music Group, Oetinger, Kid\u00addinx and H\u00f6r\u00adbuch Ham\u00adburg such as \u201cBibi Blocks\u00adberg\u201d, \u201cDIKKA\u201d, \u201cDer Pumuckl\u201d, \u201cDie Olchis\u201d and the albums of the most suc\u00adcess\u00adful chil\u00addren\u2019s song YouTube chan\u00adnel \u201cHurra Kinder\u00adlieder\u201d. Pre-teen con\u00adtent is also included: \u201cAlea Aquar\u00adius\u201d, \u201cKira Kolumna\u201d or \u201cThe Gob\u00adlin Chronicles.\u201d <\/p>\n
The founders Timo Dries and Frank Lie\u00dfner came up with the idea for GALAKTO back in 2013. Timo Dries, him\u00adself the father of four chil\u00addren, has been the man\u00adag\u00ading direc\u00adtor and co-owner of the devel\u00adoper stu\u00addio Fox & Sheep in Berlin for a long time after work\u00ading at Nick\u00adelodeon and Wooga. Together with Frank Lie\u00dfner, he devel\u00adoped over 30 apps for chil\u00addren between the ages of 3 and 9, which have been down\u00adloaded over 45 mil\u00adlion times and won 37 awards, includ\u00ading the Apple App of the Year and the Webby Award. <\/p>\n
With over 15 years of expe\u00adri\u00adence in prod\u00aduct devel\u00adop\u00adment and tech\u00adnol\u00adogy for chil\u00addren, Frank Lie\u00dfner at GALAKTO ensures lim\u00adit\u00adless, has\u00adsle-free fun, because the pos\u00adi\u00adtive user expe\u00adri\u00adence is his top priority.<\/p>\n
In 2019, Frank Lie\u00dfner and Timo Dries bought the app provider Fox & Sheep from HABA and took the com\u00adpany back to its roots as an indie studio.<\/p>\n
Ver\u00adena Paus\u00adder, Busi\u00adness Angel Galakto: \u201cI have known Timo Dries since our time together at Fox & Sheep. He puts his heart, mind and expe\u00adri\u00adence into build\u00ading prod\u00aducts that chil\u00addren love and that really take the pres\u00adsure off par\u00adents. I really appre\u00adci\u00adate Timo as a per\u00adson and as an entre\u00adpre\u00adneur who proves time and again that he under\u00adstands the needs of fam\u00adi\u00adlies. The GALAKTO team has now trans\u00adferred this prod\u00aduct dis\u00adci\u00adpline from the app store to the world of screen-free hard\u00adware \u2014 with clear vision, robust design and impres\u00adsive mar\u00adket resonance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Katja Butz\u00admann, Man\u00adag\u00ading Direc\u00adtor of bm|t Beteili\u00adgungs\u00adman\u00adage\u00adment Th\u00fcrin\u00adgen: \u201cWe are thrilled to be part of Tiny Mon\u00adster\u2019s vision and to help shape the excit\u00ading path of this still young com\u00adpany. From the very first meet\u00ading with the founders Frank and Timo, it was clear to us that they not only have an entre\u00adpre\u00adneur\u00adial spirit and down-to-earth atti\u00adtude, but also sound expe\u00adri\u00adence in the chil\u00addren\u2019s enter\u00adtain\u00adment indus\u00adtry and a strong net\u00adwork. In a very short space of time, a dynamic, scal\u00ading com\u00adpany has emerged that we believe will cap\u00adture a sig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcant mar\u00adket share within the next one to two years. At the same time, we are delighted to be devel\u00adop\u00ading another inno\u00adv\u00ada\u00adtive com\u00adpany based in Thuringia. We are look\u00ading for\u00adward to a promis\u00ading and inspir\u00ading collaboration.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
