Our take
Childcare can be extremely expensive and inconvenient for working parents. Brella's flexible childcare center solves this problem.
Brella was founded by two working mothers who identified key pain points for parents struggling with childcare. Brella's focus on flexibility and its tech-centric approach has proven popular, with the company garnering considerable media attention and funding.
Brella has the potential to significantly disrupt the stagnant daycare market, and the company is set to expand in LA and beyond in the coming years.
