StartupRealities No 124 KidsExplained is an online education and media company that uses YouTube and TikTok videos to educate children, with the role of presenter or host being played by children. The company maintains that children pay more attention to what other children say, rather than to adults, as children are usually fed up with the orders that adults give. CEO QUOTE "KidsExplained democratises education. Who said that only adults can be the teachers? If adults prepare the material, children can easily present on video and can even have some input into the customisation of the material. Furthermore, children are more enthusiastic presenters than adults and this enthusiasm can be contagious and lead to some viral videos." - said KidsExplained founder and CEO Kieran Exposito.

StartupRealities No 70 HamsterKids is a sports equipment manufacturer of “hamster wheel” type treadmill equipment for children. The treadmills are suitable for both indoor and outdoor exercise and are particularly useful during periods of lockdown: for example during the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic. The wheels are equipped with a harness that prevents falling when running inside the wheel. CEO QUOTE “Cirque de Soleil and other acrobats ride motorbikes inside large globes. We only help children run inside giant hamster wheels in their living room. Parents around the world should be grateful to us" said HamsterKids founder and CEO Hamish Kidman said.
