StarWalk Kids Media

What StarWalk Kids Media does

StarWalk Kids Media is a for-profit, privately held company founded in 2011 and based in Great Neck, United States. The firm is described in its firmographic profile as a content platform that publishes and distributes e-books, placing it in the children's digital publishing and educational media segment. Its leadership includes founder Seymour Simon, a well-known children's nonfiction author, and Miranda Barry, who serves as Education & Editorial Director, signaling an editorial-led organization with a clear educational orientation. The company has no public ticker, no disclosed subsidiaries, and no parent company on file.

The company has received two National Science Foundation grants — $149,897 in May 2014 and $470,989 in August 2015, totaling approximately $620,886 — consistent with research- or education-focused product development. No revenue, headcount, or commercial traction data is disclosed for StarWalk Kids Media directly. The bundled source data attributes detailed go-to-market, marketing channel, and Amazon Associates affiliate revenue information to a separate property, I Am Momma, Hear Me Roar (a parenting blog at iammommahearmeroar.net); the input itself flags that this material pertains to a different company, so it should be treated as related-but-uncertain context rather than direct evidence of StarWalk Kids Media's commercial operations. A contact email ([email protected]) is the only operational data point on file.

Operationally, no app, no API, no proprietary technology stack, no AI/ML capabilities, and no certifications are disclosed. The firm's public footprint consists of a single U.S. location and a digital content presence. Given the absence of post-2015 verifiable activity and the lack of disclosed revenue or headcount, the available evidence supports only a thin profile: a small, founder-led children's content publisher with early non-dilutive federal grant funding and limited observable commercial scale.
