The June Care Company is a mom-led childcare marketplace that connects parents needing care with vetted, background-checked stay-at-home parents in their own neighborhoods. Founded in 2021 by former Intuit general manager Gretchen Salyer, it began as pandemic-era childcare swaps among friends and grew into an app-based platform matching families with trusted local caregivers - closing the gap between families who lack affordable, flexible childcare and stay-at-home parents who want income without leaving home. Backed by $3.6M in seed funding from Craft Ventures, Greycroft, and Yes VC.
Tuktu Care is a Canadian agetech marketplace that uses an AI-driven matching algorithm to pair seniors and families with vetted local companions and service providers. Founded in Vancouver in 2022 after founder Rustam Sengupta's father was diagnosed with dementia, the on-demand platform covers everything from companionship and transportation to housekeeping, overnight care, and post-hospital recovery - typically at 30-40% less than the cost of traditional agencies. A Techstars Future of Longevity company, Tuktu has served 6,000+ customers and built a network of 300+ care providers across Canada, and in March 2026 expanded into the United States with a statewide launch in Vermont.
