Bumo operates a tech-driven, on-demand child care marketplace offering instant booking for vetted and licensed providers, camps, enrichment, and educational programs. Founded in 2019 by Joan Nguyen and Chriselle Lim, the company evolved from a physical co-working space to a virtual learning product (BumoBrain) during the pandemic and fully launched its marketplace in 2024. The platform emphasizes ease of use (users are three button clicks away from booking), removes subscription fees, and lists over 17,000 searchable child care programs serving children aged 0–17. Bumo currently operates in almost 200 cities from Orange County and Los Angeles through the Bay Area and has facilitated nearly half a million hours of booked child care. The company partners with national organizations such as Learning Care Group, Boys & Girls Club of Metro Los Angeles, FC Barcelona, FC Bayern Munich, and Drawn2Art to broaden program offerings. Management says the business is experiencing accelerated growth with an anticipated 15x increase within 2025 and plans to use new capital to expand into additional cities, grow its team, and enhance the platform.
