StoryToon Graduates from Baltic Sandbox + Angels Band Accelerator

On August 20, 2025, StoryToon proudly graduated from the Baltic Sandbox + Angels Band accelerator program, joining six other strong startups with Belarusian founders in a final online demo day.

Over the course of 8 weeks, mentors from Baltic Sandbox Ventures helped participating teams sharpen their go-to-market strategies, refine pitches, and stress-test their products.

The batch featured:

• GoJammin – AI-platform for personalized event discovery (“Netflix for events”)
• Simplified – AI daily planner that adapts to your decisions and state
• FurEver – AI-service helping owners adopt pets similar to those they’ve lost
• Tradefulness – AI-assistant improving traders’ discipline and resilience
• GoalAlly – holistic goal-setting application
• StoryToon – bringing children’s reading to life with animation and character voices
• Midcontract – escrow payment platform for freelancers, agencies, and SMBs

StoryToon’s Journey

When StoryToon entered the program, we had a strong vision but a weak grasp of market understanding. Our product – https://storytoon.xyz, the technology that animates children’s books with voices and expressions – was already enchanting kids and parents. But our strategy for scaling and positioning was unclear.

Through the accelerator, we:

• Reframed our value proposition for both families and educational partners
• Tested and refined our business model with feedback from mentors and investors
• Strengthened our pitch to clearly communicate the impact of interactive storytelling
• Shaped a clear roadmap for growth and partnerships

The result: StoryToon is no longer just a playful experiment. It’s becoming a scalable tool to transform children’s reading into an immersive, engaging experience worldwide.

Looking Ahead

Graduating from Baltic Sandbox + Angels Band is only the beginning. StoryToon will now focus on:

• Expanding its library of animated stories
• Building partnerships with publishers and educators
• Exploring new AI-driven personalization features

We’re grateful to the mentors, fellow founders, and partners who made this journey possible.

As a startup that had the chance to join the Baltic Sandbox + Angles Band accelerator, I can honestly say it was an outstanding journey! The program created a powerful environment full of insights and real support. The sessions were packed with value — from mastering fundraising strategies to scaling a startup effectively. I especially appreciated the sessions with Walid O. El Cheikh and Erik Bhullar, which stood out as particularly inspiring and practical. The mentors’ guidance was concrete, relevant to our stage, and directly applicable to our challenges. On top of that, the accelerator opened doors to meaningful networking with fellow founders and industry experts. From kickoff all the way to Demo Day, Baltic Sandbox + Angles Band fostered a spirit of growth, collaboration, and forward momentum!
