Pearachute
[Closed for Investment]
You manage your appointments, your babysitters, your deliveries, even your groceries, on your phone. Why can’t you manage your children’s activities there too? The family activity industry is out of touch with today’s parents, and it’s time it caught up.
Pearachute is here to help that happen. Pearachute is an app and platform that enables parents and caregivers to discover, book, and drop into the best kids classes and activities in the cities they live. Gone now are the days of paying for ten classes but only being able to attend three. Pearachute lets you drop in on single classes and sign up on days you know you can attend. Parents can choose from three, six, or unlimited class subscriptions each month, and activities range from arts and crafts to soccer and swimming. They’ve got something for everyone!
And so far, Pearachute is parachuting onto the scene with confidence and success. Not only are they helping parents, but they’re also fueling local businesses. To date, they work with over 850 partner companies, and over $700,000 has gone back to those local businesses through their partnership. Additionally, Pearachute has experienced a 20% month-over-month user growth, a 60% reduction in user churn since January, and a profit margin that averages 24-45% across all products and markets.
After all, American families spend $32 billion each year on kids’ activities, and $100 billion annually for family activities. When you think about the fact that there are 75 million millennials out there who are about to have 75 million babies -- and you realize that 78% of those parents prefer to spend money on experiences instead of things -- you realize that the market for Pearachute is quite large, and quite lucrative.
To top it off, Pearachute’s backers include Techstars Ventures, OKCupid founders, and HotelTonight -- all who are tech-and-millennial-savvy. They know Pearachute is the future of kids’ activities for millennial parents. This company is changing the way families share, discover, learn, and play…. and it’s all for the better, and all for today’s techie world.

Are you a parent who loves activities for your child but hates the hassle of signing up for them?

With the mission of bringing families closer together while supporting local businesses, Pearachute is a platform you can feel good about investing in...while benefiting largely from it.
