The round was led by Techstars Ventures, building an index of health and human services programs available in cities across the U. Oh, S
The company’s website allows users to search for any type of social service—from legal aid to day care to health education—by subject and zip code. You can find the location, time and review of the services through the site, which also has tools to help users reach the social service provider.
The value of the service, business model and customer list—which includes hospitals, foundations and health insurance companies—is what attracted Techstars Ventures to the company, according to Jason Seats, a Techstars Ventures partner and a Aunt Bertha board member. The basic service is free of charge to the public and Aunt Bertha provides an enterprise version for companies, such as case managers or social workers employers, the company says. The company has more than 45 business customers, says a spokeswoman.
Aunt Bertha has been indexing health and human services programs, including those provided by charities and governments, since it was founded in 2010 by CEO Erine Gray. The Social Entrepreneur Fund, based in New York, is also an investor. According to the regulatory filing, the company raised almost $1 million in 2013.
Techstars Ventures is the venture capital arm of Techstars, the Boulder, a CO-based accelerator with more than two dozen programs worldwide. Seats started the Austin Techstars program before joining Techstars Ventures.
