NoBa Capital invests in ClassHoppa to build the infrastructure layer for children’s activities

NoBa Capital is pleased to announce its investment in ClassHoppa, a platform that gives children’s activity providers the tools to run their businesses and families a simpler, more trusted way to discover, book and manage activities. ClassHoppa is one of the companies emerging from NoBa’s Summer 2026 Elevate programme.

Children’s activities is a large, multi-billion-pound market that has remained underserved by technology. Every week, millions of families access football, swimming, dance, tutoring and camps delivered by thousands of independent providers, yet many still rely on fragmented tools and manual processes. NoBa sees this as part of a bigger shift in the future of work: helping more people build sustainable businesses around their skills, while giving families better ways to access the experiences they value.

ClassHoppa is building the infrastructure layer for this category, bringing together the tools providers need while sitting at the centre of the ecosystem, where more providers create more choice for families and more families create more value for providers. Founded by sisters Liv and Siobhan, the business is already showing strong early momentum, growing 10x since December through increasing provider adoption, geographic density and repeat usage.

“We’re delighted to be joining the NoBa Capital portfolio. The children’s activity market is undergoing a significant shift – consumers expect a seamless digital experience, and activity providers need the tools to meet that demand at scale. From our first conversations with the NoBa team it was clear they understood both the opportunity and what it takes to build in this space.”
Liv Cooley-Dawes, Co-founder of ClassHoppa

“Children’s activities is a large, fragmented market with a clear opportunity to build the infrastructure that helps providers run better businesses while giving families a simpler way to discover and access activities. Liv and Siobhan have combined deep customer insight with exceptional execution, and we have real conviction in their ability to build the category.”
