WeeCare is a Los Angeles–founded tech company that operates a technology-based marketplace and says it has the largest childcare provider network in the United States, with a network of tens of thousands of childcare providers. Founded in 2017, WeeCare's core product is a Childcare Benefits program that enables employers to offer affordable childcare benefits to working families at all income levels. The company positions its platform as a way to support childcare providers in operating sustainable businesses while expanding access for families. WeeCare raised $12 million in a Series A to scale its childcare benefits program and bring its total funding to $22.3 million. Proceeds will be used to expand its caregiver network and improve the platform. The company cites employer demand—more than 42 percent of employers were looking to add a childcare benefit in 2022—as a tailwind for growth. WeeCare provides a platform and services for caregivers and educators to start curriculum-based, in-home daycares, offering a complete management solution through a mobile app. The app supports licensing, home preparation, insurance, business training, digitized enrollment, automated billing, website listings, marketing tools and curriculum generation. The company developed its curriculum in partnership with educator Esther Wojcicki, Ph.D., emphasizing early childcare education and a blended learning approach. Led by CEO and co-founder Jessica Chang, WeeCare aims to deepen roots in Southern California and use new funding to expand into additional regions, with two cities to be announced this year. Financially, the company has secured seed capital to support growth: it raised $4.2M in a seed round. Adam Nelson of Social Capital will join WeeCare's board in conjunction with the financing.
