Company Performance Metrics
Provide helps entrepreneurs build stronger childcare businesses. We do this through a software-based back office that automates child care providers’ government-facing administrative work. Today, providers face complex regulatory burdens that lead to thousands of dollars of lost income and hundreds of hours spent on administration annually. These
problems are more acute for providers who serve low-income families who pay with government subsidies.
Provide helps child care providers increase their incomes and spend less time on administration. It also reduces the risk of accepting government subsidies, enabling providers to serve the families who need them most. Our service includes three core verticals: (1) assistance claiming public funding; (2) licensing and compliance support; and (3) expense tracking to maximize tax deductions. As we grow, Provide will also connect child care providers to ongoing political work to help them advocate for a streamlined system of fully-funded early childhood education.
Provide is the winner of the 2017 Social New Venture Challenge and a member of the 2017 Polsky Summer Accelerator cohort. Provide was also recognized as one of Chicago Inno's 2017 50 on Fire.
