KooBits received support from the Media Development Authority (MDA) [6][7] in the development of Future Media [8] and was one of the companies selected to receive funding in Interactive Digital Media [9] projects. MDA also helped Personal e-Motion secure Venture Capital fund from Accel-X Pte Ltd. KooBits is part of the FutureBooks[10] Partner Network initiated by MDA to develop Singapore-based learning from user-generated content to delivery across multiple platforms. PEM raised its first round of Venture Capital investments in July 2009 through NUS Enterprise ’s network of Business Angels and Venture Capitalists.

gollark: Hmm. It seems like you would have to convert the Pytorch model this uses to a TensorFlow model to a TFLite one to the Coral TPU format.
