Summary
After turning Shadow into one of the most valuable French startup, Freund stepped back and took some time to think about his second act.
He spent some time with his two children aged 5 and 8 years old.
From his experience, most education apps are focused on one knowledge area in particular and are somewhat basic.
"What if we could build a sort of Ready Player One for education. An open world in which a child could learn new things," Freund said.
You can learn history, geography, math, but also botanical knowledge, astronomy and poetry.
Second, content isn't going to be gamified to motivate you to learn more to do more in the game.
Some children will be better at math, others will be better at grammar.
Some children like to learn new things in short sessions, others can remain focused for a while.
This way, parents can get reports on what their children have been doing.
PowerZ wants to develop its game with a community of parents, teachers and children.
