Pixley AI
Pixley AI is a Y Combinator (F25) startup that turns a child's drawing or photo into an animated cartoon character in seconds, then generates full personalized episodes around a lesson a parent picks. The goal is to convert passive kids' screen time into active, co-created, and educational play. Founded in 2025 by childhood friends Krish Iyengar and Pranit Agrawal, the company also builds Pixley Studios, an agentic tool that turns a single idea into a production-ready video.
Joon Health
Joon Health is a San Francisco-based pediatric behavioral health company (YC W22) that turns real-life routines into a video game for kids with ADHD, autism, anxiety and depression. Children care for a virtual pet called a Doter, leveling it up by completing parent- and clinician-assigned tasks like chores, homework and hygiene. Founded in 2021 by three UC Berkeley grads, Joon has reached over 500,000 users and 18,000 paying subscribers, and raised $6.4M in 2023 to become a first-line digital treatment for pediatric behavior disorders.
