Binti
Binti is a San Francisco-based software company building modern workflow tools for the child welfare system. Its cloud platform helps social workers license foster and adoptive families, find kin, manage cases, coordinate service referrals, and meet federal reporting requirements. Used by more than 550 agencies across 36 states plus D.C. - covering roughly half of children in U.S. foster care - Binti aims to reduce paperwork so caseworkers can spend more time helping children find safe, stable, loving families.
