Care.com also partners with more than 700 employers, including many of the Fortune 100, to deliver care-related benefits that combine access to the Care.com platform and comprehensive backup care solutions provided in-home, in-center and through camps and activities, along with a broader suite of care support solutions.
As a standalone company, Care.com will accelerate its enterprise expansion while continuing to strengthen its consumer marketplace. With Pacific Avenue's investment and support, the Company will move faster on product innovation, scale its employer partnerships, and enhance the platform experience for the millions of families and caregivers who rely on it.

The transaction aligns perfectly with Pacific Avenue's track record of executing corporate carve-outs to acquire market-leading businesses.
