    Parenthood Ventures is a founder ecosystem for ParentTech: Startups serving parents and children, fertility to teens. Parenthood Ventures’ founders have raised more than $65 million in funding in the 9 months since our launch, and this is the tip of the iceberg, as millennials and gen z age into parenthood and demand a new generation of tech-enabled products and services - including family fintech, maternal and pediatric digital health, connected devices, education, childcare, clothing, entertainment and more. As in any industry, the founders best placed to build fit-for-purpose solutions are those living the challenges they’re solving: which means our teams are mostly parent-led, often female-led and typically based in suburban locations outside of traditional tech hubs. We are proud to be the first and only digital-always ecosystem for the sector.
