Bumo is an app designed to assist parents in booking short-notice childcare. Coined by Joan Nguyen, the app allows users to find available slots at local childcare centers, alleviating the pressure for immediate childcare solutions. With around 10,000 users, Bumo offers services in 200 locations across 13 states. The platform emphasizes fractional childcare needs, addressing challenges faced when traditional childcare options like nannies are unavailable. The app has successfully raised $10 million and is preparing for another $10 million seed round of funding.
As a parent, I also felt the pain of not being able to get childcare when you absolutely needed it. Why is it easier for me to find a dog walker than it is to find a sitter or a nanny?
Launched in 2024 after raising $10 million, the Bumo app was co-founded by Nguyen and Chriselle Lim. It's a continuation of a joint co-working and childcare center they launched in late 2019.
The app features vetted childcare providers and works similarly to Airbnb, allowing parents to filter through childcare options from drop-in daycares to summer camps.
Bumo is preparing to announce a $10 million seed funding round, led by venture capital firms Offline Ventures and True Ventures.
