Fingerprint Digital, Inc, a mobile gaming startup that creates educational and engaging gaming apps for kids, today announced that Corus Entertainment Inc., an integrated media and entertainment company, has made an investment to further grow and expand Fingerprint's learning and entertainment platform, known as Fingerprint Play. As the lead investor, Corus will bolster Fingerprint's position as one of the key contenders in the growing children's app market as Fingerprint adds more content, expands its product offering and names Corus' Colin Bohm, Managing Director, Nelvana Enterprises to its board.

The Fingerprint Play platform, which launched in December of 2011, is available on iOS (iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad) and offers a range of entertaining and educational content with compelling interactive features designed to engage children and parents in a gaming environment. Fingerprint offers 14 apps today, which have been played over 20 million minutes. With this investment from Corus, Fingerprint Play plans to expand to Android devices and add eight new gaming apps by the end of 2012.

"We are excited about Corus' investment in our company. This partnership enables us to leverage Corus' experience in the kids' realm and will allow Fingerprint to increase our offerings to older children, expand internationally and deliver new games that kids love and parents trust on all platforms, from iOS to Android," said Nancy MacIntyre, CEO and co-founder of Fingerprint.

In addition to its premium and lifestyle entertainment offerings, Corus Entertainment has an array of kid-focused assets including television networks; an animation business, Nelvana; and a book publishing business, Kids Can Press. The company's brands, including Max & Ruby, Babar, Franklin and Friends, Scaredy Squirrel, Chester and CitizenKid, to name a few, are well-known and loved by kids and families worldwide. Through this deal, Corus plans to bring some of its properties to the Fingerprint Play platform.

"Fingerprint's unique platform for connecting parents and kids with game-based learning is the foundation for success in the crowded app market," said Colin Bohm. "With our focus and commitment on providing audiences with access to great content on all platforms, Corus looks forward to helping Fingerprint grow and expand their technology worldwide."
