Modern Village’s first product, Milo, combines a family operating system with an SMS assistant to manage calendars, emails and offer expert recommendations to simplify household planning. Milo organizes a household database (shoe sizes, service providers), acts as a project manager (scheduling, daily rundowns) and serves as a "chief memory maker" for events and activities. The product is designed to coordinate at three levels: within a household, among nearby families, and via an upcoming shared-space feature called Circles. The team of six, split between Seattle and Vancouver, developed Milo in beta as the pandemic began and was accepted into Y Combinator in January; the wait list grew to about 2,200 families and is now being opened. Milo is priced at $15 per month for full functionality including a dashboard and SMS assistant, with a free SMS-only tier offering tips and suggestions. Modern Village has raised about $1 million in pre-seed funding to date.
