REASONS TO INVEST
Our multi-patented joint system and upcoming AI-powered pose-capture software link our growing line of poseable figures to the metaverse, paving the way for entertainment that unites physical and digital play.
We have nearly doubled our sales in the past year as we disrupt multiple major markets, including the $106.46 billion global education technology industry and the $10.11 billion global smart toys industry.*
We began our journey on Indiegogo, where we ultimately raised $1,026,762, surpassing our funding goal by 11,080%.
the pitch
At Stickybones, we are taking years of experience as feature film animators to create a line of highly articulated toys that bridge the gap between physical play and the metaverse. Our figures’ revolutionary, multi-patented joint system creates a uniquely tactile and playful creation experience that connects seamlessly to the digital world. We nearly doubled our revenue from 2021 to 2022, and with the upcoming release of our AI technology we are ready to unleash the imagination of a new generation of children and adults alike.
Overview
Defining the Play Experience of the Future
Prior to launching Stickybones, we dedicated ourselves to a career of animating magical and never-before-seen worlds while working at some of the world’s top animation and VFX studios. We will always be animators at heart, with a passion for breathing life into everything we create. That’s why we set out to create a well-designed line of toys made with highly durable materials capable of interacting with the metaverse. Our products span physical and technological experiences, giving people a magical space to play, create, and learn within.
The Problem & Our solution
Highly Durable Toys Bridging Physical Play and the Metaverse
We designed Stickbones figures to be versatile and precisely calibrated to articulate poses quickly and expressively. Our improved mechanics, materials, and manufacturing techniques extend the longevity of our joints and allow them to hold even the most gravity-defying poses for years, backed by a lifetime warranty.
By leveraging advances in AI and computer vision, we are able to capture physical poses and translate them into the digital world. This revolutionary approach to working and playing with digital assets such as 3D characters gives people the ability to rapidly animate simply by posing our Stickybones figures with their hands.
Our micro-motion capture system is both tactile and visual, which uniquely engages the visual, kinesthetic, and tactile learners that make up 70-80% of all people. We’ve seen success with our toys used as educational tools and to aid in communication for people with ADD, ADHD, and ASD.
the market & Our Traction
Customer-Beloved Technology Impacting Multiple Major Industries
The global smart toys market was valued at $10.11 billion as of 2020, growing at a CAGR of 28%. Stickybones also has major applications in the $106.46 billion global education technology market as gamification grows in education to make learning entertaining (Source).
We hold 27 utility and design patents. Our products are available for sale to consumers via our website, Amazon, and retailers such as TouchofModern and new international wholesale partnerships. Our products are used on the desks of artists and animators who work at major animation studios such as Disney, Pixar, ILM, Dreamworks, and more.
This year, we built and opened our own state-of-the-art injection molding facility in the San Francisco Bay Area, enabling us to execute our design, development, manufacturing, quality control, and fulfillment all under one roof.

Why Invest
Designing the Next Generation of Entertainment and Education Tools
As animators, we believe in magic, and it is our mission to craft and harness that magic into the hands of everyone. With this raise, we plan to extend our market share, launch new products, and grow our distribution network. With the growing trends of gamification and AR/VR to better hold the attention of students, the developing metaverse, and advances in deep learning, computer vision, and AI technology, now is the time to envision a new future of play.

The 10% StartEngine Owners' Bonus
Stickybones will offer 10% additional bonus shares for all investments that are committed by investors that are eligible for the StartEngine Crowdfunding Inc. OWNer's bonus.
This means eligible StartEngine shareholders will receive a 10% bonus for any shares they purchase in this offering. For example, if you buy 100 shares of Common Stock at $1.21 / share, you will receive 110 shares of Common Stock, meaning you'll own 110 shares for $121. Fractional shares will not be distributed and share bonuses will be determined by rounding down to the nearest whole share.
This 10% Bonus is only valid during the investors eligibility period. Investors eligible for this bonus will also have priority if they are on a waitlist to invest and the company surpasses its maximum funding goal. They will have the first opportunity to invest should room in the offering become available if prior investments are canceled or fail.
Investors will receive the highest single bonus they are eligible for among the bonuses based on the amount invested and time of offering elapsed (if any). Eligible investors will also receive the Owner’s Bonus in addition to the aforementioned bonus.

Hi Chad, thank you for your comment! The first software we’ll be releasing is a plug-in for Autodesk’s Maya, with others to follow. My co-founder and I have spent our professional animation careers working in Maya which is one of the reasons we’ve chosen to release our first Stickybones plugin for Maya.
Our software enables the capture of poses and motion using Stickybones figures OR your own body. Our workflow is totally unique to anything else out there. I think you’ll love it! And we’d love to have you as an investor! Cheers, Erik

this is interesting I just happened to be looking into motion capture software from my phone for my 3d program cinema 4d. I'm not a gymnast so I guess there's a few things that wouldn't physically be possible.

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.
