PikMyKid Raises $1M for Platform to Coordinate After-School Pickups

Sep 27, 2016

PIKMYKID, a Florida-based company, has raised $1 million in funding backed by Florida Funders and The Fan Fund. PikMyKid offers a mobile and web platform for parents and schools to coordinate picking up their children. School administrators use it to manage queues and notify parents when the child has been picked up, who picked him or her up and what transportation was used.

According to the company, some 50 schools in 14 states use the tool, and 80 percent of parents and caregivers at those schools are using it for pick-ups. The mobile application has seen some 60,000 downloads.
