Investment from Insitor Partners and others will be used to develop and scale the company's digital product while also increasing its physical presence across India
Pediatric development and behavior health platform Butterfly Learnings has successfully raised $1.5 million in a seed round from Insitor Partners, 9Unicorns, Venture Catalysts, Fondation Botnar, UTIL Stiftung, and CIIE.CO.
Founded in 2021 by Dr. Sonam Kothari and Dr. Abhishek Sen, Butterfly Learnings aims to solve challenges across the full spectrum of developmental issues and behavioral health in children through evidence-based practices. The techniques the platform uses are Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA), speech therapy, and occupational therapy via an integrated in-person and digital platform.
“Pediatric behavioral healthcare in India is far less accessible than adult healthcare, with an estimated three million children suffering from an autistic spectrum disorder in the country. The vast majority of these children are never diagnosed and consequently never treated. Butterfly Learnings was founded to address this huge unmet need and formalize access to comprehensive quality care in a sector that remains fragmented and underpenetrated,” said Megha Jain, Insitor's India Country Manager.
