Powering the $648b Care Economy
Kinside powers bookings and payments for the $648B care economy. We’ve started with child care, a $136B category that despite being an essential and evergreen service, remains an undigitized space, driven mostly by cash.
Kinside is a platform that helps families find child care by surfacing real-time openings, provider information, pricing, and reviews, with options to book tours. It also positions itself as a bridge for employers and government to support child care access within a transparent ecosystem.
Real-time availability at thousands of child care providers, provider profiles with pricing and program information, parent reviews, and one-click tour bookings. It offers roles for Parents, Providers, Employers, and Government, enabling parents to find care quickly and manage enrollments, while employers and government entities access child care data to support workforce needs and community outcomes.
Who it’s for: Parents seeking child care, child care providers, employers offering child care support to employees, and government agencies interested in child care data
