FAMS was founded by Belarusian expats Helene Malyutina (CEO) and Darya Kolkovskaya (COO), both experienced founders and mothers of two kids. With Darya being a practicing family psychologist for more than 10 years and certified professionals as consultants, the app is ensured to provide moms and dads with verified effective hacks for common challenges, personalized programs for nurturing child development, and engaging rituals to establish healthy habits. Moreover, there’s a specialized AI chatbot available for 24/7 support.

Borys Musielak, Founding Partner at SMOK.VC said, “Each of our investment decisions starts with the founding team. Helene is determined, eager to learn, analytical, and has a gift of attracting awesome people, all the traits required to be successful as a founder, The parenting app market is crowded with low-quality content, and I believe that FAMS has a chance to build something bigger than that: a global community, a safe place for parents to learn, exchange information, and connect with each other, a long-awaited manual for your child.”

Helene Malyutina, founder of FAMS, commented: “We live in a truly amazing time, when every family has a unity, and every family member individually has opportunities to reveal their full potential. The FAMS app offers a new way of understanding and managing the emotional climate in the family through learning with interactive stories. We do not teach parents how to live and what to do. Instead, we give them a choice and with the help of a simulator show them the consequences of their everyday communication choices.”
