Need/Done Inc.

They say it takes a village... So we decided to make one and put It on an app.

Urban parents don’t have the kind of reliable childcare support they need when extended family lives miles away. The steady growth in this millennial target presented an opportunity. Especially in a $48+ billion childcare market.

I built a SaaS-based app, designed for a growing generation of dual-income households. And we piloted a community–building mobile app that enabled parents to gradually build out a local “family,” made up of parent-friends that share trustworthy resources (like sitters, dog walkers, cleaners). 

We’re all a little more overwhelmed.

Without the family support nearby we all relied on in the past, it’s alot harder to take care of kids and family while we all work. According to the 450 we polled before running our pilot in May, what working parents need more than anything else is some added support. Practical helpto get home-related crap off their plate, and for someone to serve as their trusted proxy at home when they need to be at work.

So why not help each other out, share resources among friends, and call for trusted help at the touch of a button? Need/Done provides instant help from sitters & home-helpers your friends use and trust.

NPR ran a four-part podcast about the making of NEED/DONE (Note To Self / Taking the Lead).
