Founded in 2022 by a former partner-track lawyer and a startup brand executive, it began by tackling burnout and attrition among working parents and caregivers - a group that can make up the majority of a workforce - and has since grown into a broader platform for connection and engagement across the employee lifecycle, backed by patented matching technology and a behavioral-science curriculum.

Keep Company has raised roughly $2 million in venture funding and was named by Techstars and Melinda French Gates' Pivotal Ventures among the top ten companies innovating in the care economy.
