A strong believer in the power of early education, StoryCloud Founder and CEO Monisha Sami is seeking to instil in children the values, skills, and emotional intelligence needed to build a better society.
As a criminologist with a strong interest in sociology, Monisha has always been drawn to the practical applications of these fields, particularly in fostering social cohesion, addressing societal challenges, and shaping positive behaviours from an early age.
“Because I’m in the law enforcement space, I see when things go badly. But a lot of the issues that we have could be solved by intervening early and through education,” Monisha tells OnImpact.
The culmination of Monisha’s passion is StoryCloud — a values driven, curriculum aligned, AI-native, SaaS educational technology platform for children aged three to nine. The Canberra based company envisions a world where accessible, high-quality educational content is available to every child, regardless of their background or circumstances.
Blending education, entertainment, and social impact
By leveraging the power of AI, StoryCloud captivates children’s imaginations through immersive storytelling while instilling critical social-emotional skills, empathy, and environmental awareness. The company seeks to make learning fun, interactive, and inclusive so “they don’t even know they’re learning”.
StoryCloud business model
StoryCloud operates a SaaS subscription model delivering premium learning infused immersive video content at accessible price points tailored for homes, schools, and early learning centres.
Affordability as a growth driver: Pricing is designed to be inclusive — lowering barriers to entry while maximising market reach. By combining high production value with budget-friendly plans, StoryCloud ensures wide adoption across both B2C and B2B channels.
B2C: Direct-to-consumer subscriptions via storycloud.com.au, smart TV apps, mobile apps, and social media — targeting families seeking immersive educational entertainment.
B2B: Easy and scalable classroom subscriptions for schools, libraries, learning centres, day-care centres and tutoring businesses — enabling educators to integrate StoryCloud into structured learning environments.
An immersive educational journey
StoryCloud transforms learning into a deeply personal and immersive journey, blending AI-powered storytelling with child-centred education. At its core is a vast “ocean” of dynamic content, seamlessly adapting to each child’s interests, learning style, and developmental stage.
Through its proprietary StoryEngine and Natural Language Technology, StoryCloud creates engaging narratives that feel intuitive and interactive — ensuring learning is not just educational but instinctively enjoyable.
Setting StoryCloud apart is its stealth learning methodology. By leveraging the power of AI and engaging storytelling, StoryCloud makes education feel like an adventure, not a lesson. Children absorb critical life skills such as problem-solving, teamwork, and environmental awareness while fully immersed in engaging stories.
Guided by a team of visionaries
StoryCloud is guided by a team of industry leaders, educational pioneers, and technology experts that ensures it is not only engaging but ethically designed, inclusive and impactful for children, parents, and educators alike.
It boasts a world-class team and advisory board assembled from Google, Meta, Mozilla, CSIRO, the University of Sydney, and the Australian Federal Police, who bring deep expertise in AI, education, technology, sociology, and research.
The team’s experience spans curriculum development, Al-driven storytelling, software engineering, sociology, and research to ensure StoryCloud remains innovative, scalable, and deeply aligned with the needs of young learners.
Vision and opportunity
The ‘edutainment’ market is evolving rapidly, with increasing demand for engaging, high-quality educational content. StoryCloud is uniquely positioned to lead this space, combining AI-driven storytelling, curriculum-aligned learning, and immersive world-building to redefine how children learn and grow.
Founded in January 2025, StoryCloud is gaining early market traction.Commercial outreach has been initiated, with strong early buy-in reinforcing StoryCloud’s high market potential in education and entertainment.
The company recently completed a Pre Seed Investment round to accelerate platform development, deliver a mobile app, expand its content library and production channels, and support the launch of initial commercial outreach.
Monisha tells OnImpact that she expects to launch a seed round later this year and is focused on having the right people on board — the ones that care about the mission, who believe in the vision.
