Company
Kinside
Powering the $648b Care Economy
We're building a childcare booking and payment platform that digitizes a traditionally cash-based, offline market. Our product allows parents to find, book, and pay for childcare reliably while helping providers streamline scheduling and payments.
We live in San Francisco and have some remote team members. The company is based in San Francisco and plans to remain headquartered here after YC.
San Francisco gives us access to the talent we need, a robust tech ecosystem, and potential early adopters among working parents. Remote flexibility lets us keep costs manageable while growing.
