APMC's Angel Round was led by investor and philanthropist, Tom Crist, who made a personal, multi-million dollar investment in APMC with proceeds benefiting the Crist Family Foundation. Says Crist, "We appreciate that the Kidoodle.TV team shares many of the same values that we do, with a corporate ethic that shows commitment to the community as well as to shareholders." Crist's foray into the Angel Round is representative of a new era of corporate and social philosophy and impact investment.

"We are excited to be on the leading edge of a new investment pattern focused on philanthropic endeavor," says Founder and President Mike Lowe. "Not only have we built a highly scalable, online platform in a hot space, but we have established a strong business model that also considers the human return, otherwise known as social entrepreneurship. In so doing, the company has attracted a new, more sustainable form of investment and solidified its relationship with consumers."

Similar to the Angel Round, the Series A financing is expected to be led by strategic investment. Executive Chairman, Doug Nyhoff, formerly of The Carlyle Group and Bain & Company, notes that, "APMC is in discussion with a number of parties and is encouraged thus far. The Series A financing is expected to be priced at an increased valuation to our Angel Round, with the exact amount dependent on the successful completion of key initiatives."
