Get to know us
Founding team
We would like to take you on our Jungle the Bungle journey. Carolina (founder Jungle the Bungle): the idea was actually born in 2015 when my twins were 3 years old. A few years later Amber became co-founder of this beautiful brand.
Carolina
Hi, I am Carolina and the creator of this multilingual concept. Having been raised bilingual myself and having spoken both Dutch and Spanish at a young age, I have a great affinity with languages.
Amber
Hey, I'm Amber and I also work for Jungle the Bungle. What I love about this concept is that it really has a purpose: to contribute to young children's language development.
Our story
Concept Jungle the Bungle.
In late 2015, the idea was born to develop something for young children to learn new languages in a fun and easy way. Carolina: Jungle the Bungle is especially fun and makes children happy. Children can recognise themselves in the different animals and their characters. This way, children learn that everyone is different and that that is okay. Jungle the Bungle supports equal opportunities for all children in the world. Therefore, for every product sold, we donate the same product to another child.
Multilingual books
In 2017, the first 2 books of Jungle the Bungle were launched. The book 'Eetfeest' in Dutch, English and Spanish which allows children to learn about numbers, colours and animals in the 3 languages. And the book 'The Adventure of Gravity' in Dutch and English in which children learn about gravity in a fun way. For every book we sell, we also donate a book.
Dragons Den
It is proven that Jungle the Bungle can grow into a beautiful and big brand by our participation in the preliminary rounds of Dragons Den. It only came our way a little too early. Just as well, taking part together with Monito was an important milestone for Jungle the Bungle.
Girl power
In July 2020, Amber came on board. Together, they make a strong duo. Carolina is a real rock in the business with lots of experience at big companies including Disney and Amber has a strong online background and focus on impact and sustainability. After the success of the books, the next step for Jungle the Bungle will be going digital.
Beta version app
To find out whether children and parents would be interested in an app to learn a new language easily, we developed a beta version of the app. We received a lot of positive feedback. We are taking all the learnings into the current version we are developing.
Crowdfunding successful
In early 2022, we launched a crowdfunding campaign. Within six weeks, we had the funding in place and even went over the set target. More than 100 investors joined the Jungle the Bungle Family and together they invested over 100.000 euros. With that money, we are now building an incredibly cool and fun app together with app builder Hulan.
App ready
The soft launch of the app is scheduled for November 2023. Until then, we are already doing plenty of testing and even after that, we will still be testing a lot before we go officially live!
Official launch
It will finally happen in early 2024. The whole world may then know about Jungle the Bungle's interactive language app. The app will be available via both the Apple Store and the Google Play Store.
