CEO Heidi Tian Foresees Long-Term Growth Through Intellectual Property Licensing
Kiztopia, a popular children’s playground and edutainment brand, is poised for expansion across Southeast Asia following a major investment from Singapore-based private equity firm Tower Capital Asia. This partnership aims to accelerate the growth of the brand, with Tower Capital acquiring a majority stake in Kiztopia through its investment vehicle Ectivate in October 2024. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Heidi Tian, the founder and CEO of Kiztopia, shared her vision for the company’s future, noting that the investment would provide the necessary funding for faster expansion. Tian, who moved to Singapore in 2012, noticed a gap in children’s entertainment options and decided to create an indoor playground that would cater to both entertainment and education.
Looking ahead, Tian projects that Kiztopia’s revenue will grow by 15%-20% in the next financial year, driven in part by an increase in intellectual property (IP) licensing. IP licensing is expected to become a key driver of long-term growth for the brand as it expands its footprint in Southeast Asia and beyond.
