BabyQuip is a managed, national marketplace that delivers clean, insured baby gear to families in over 900 locations in the U.S., Canada and beyond. The platform is powered by a community of over 1,000 independent Quality Providers—mostly moms—who use their own inventory to rent and clean equipment through BabyQuip's proprietary platform and branding. The company plans to use new funding to accelerate international expansion into Mexico and the Caribbean, expand hospitality partnerships, grow its Quality Provider network, and launch a mobile app and new services. BabyQuip will also invest in product and technology innovation and improvements to its proprietary technology platform. Operational traction includes Q1 2022 bookings up 235% versus Q1 2021, a Net Promoter Score of 94, over 30,000 five-star reviews, and strategic partnerships with hospitality companies such as Destination by Hyatt and Vrbo. Founded in May 2016 and based in Santa Fe, N.M., the company has raised $8.5 million in total funding to date. Babierge operates an online marketplace that connects parents with local suppliers and trusted partners who rent baby gear such as cribs, car seats, strollers, high chairs, and toys. The company does not own inventory; it screens and trains partners, provides liability insurance, and takes a 20% cut of each rental while charging end customers a service fee. More than 8,000 traveling families across over 170 destinations in the U.S. and Canada use Babierge, and the platform hosts over 200 partners with plans to grow to 500 by year-end. Trusted partners pay $100 to join the platform and reportedly earn between $600 and $800 in extra monthly income. Hotels and apartment rental companies have begun to use Babierge—Airbnb and HomeAway have contacted the company—and it has partnerships with Destination Hotels and Kid & Coe. Founded in May 2016 and based in San Francisco, Babierge has seven employees and will use new funding to expand into additional markets and onboard more trusted partners.
