And so I thought, hey, if I, as a single mom and without a spouse or a backup plan, I can take the risk for about a year and try to work this out.
And so I bootstrapped in the beginning and taught myself how to code, built the first product myself, and again, tried to find every reason not to do it, but there was just nothing out there that was addressing this problem.
Yes, we've raised about $7.1 million.
We just closed our Series A in December.
Series A was for $4.1 million.
ABOUT A YEAR INTO IT, I TALKED TO OVER 1,000 PARENTS, FAMILY LAW PROFESSIONALS, JUDGES, CHILD SUPPORT SERVICES, AND EVERYBODY I TALKED TO IS SAYING, YOU KNOW, THERE'S NOTHING OUT THERE TO SUPPORT ALL OF THESE PARENTS, AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT I DESPERATELY NEEDED.
calls from vendors saying either I need this or I wish I had this when I was a kid or I wish I had this when I was paying child support.
So just the sheer need that I would hear from people over and over again or customers saying, thank you so much.
You've ended the financial fighting that I'm having to do in front of my kids.
So it's a subscription service.
So it starts at $9.99 a month or $10 a month.
And that enables a parent to use the platform.
Both parents, it's more valuable if both parents use it, but both parents don't have to be on it.
And then we also have a free version so that if one parent chooses to pay and the other parent doesn't, it doesn't impact the paying parent.
So each parent pays independently of the other.
It's $10 a month.
It averages $10 a month.
That's billed annually or it's $14.99 if it's billed monthly.
Exactly.
2011, I started it and I actually started building the company or hiring people in 2013.
