THE Opportunity
Invest in a platform where social impact meets scalable growth
ConnectPlayWise addresses two converging global challenges: the critical socio-emotional skills gap in children and the epidemic of loneliness among older adults. Our platform is the first intergenerational learning solution built on research-backed socio-emotional learning (SEL) and gamified, meaningful connection.
While the social impact is profound, the commercial opportunity is equally compelling.
A market ready for innovation
Our dual-market focus gives ConnectPlayWise a unique entry point into two high-growth sectors:
01
EdTech
Enhanced DBS checks are required for anyone working with children, registered via Care Check (DBS Umbrella Body).
02
AgingTech & Older person care
Digital identity checks are carried out using three supporting documents or online verification, with seamless integration into the platform.
Together, these sectors create an addressable market of £937.5 million in the UK, with global expansion potential many times larger.
