Dinoz (CEO Jeong Yoon-ji and Lee Ga-young), which runs the mobile app "Yugacrew," announced that it has expanded the operating area of the 1:1 childcare friend connection service "Jjak Crew" to Songpa-gu, Gangdong-gu, Gangnam-gu, and Gangseo-gu in Seoul. As a result, Parenting Crew's "Jjak Crew" service will be available throughout Seoul south of the Han River.
Yugacrew is a neighborhood-based O2O parenting community platform that connects mothers living nearby as friends. This year, the number of new users per month is increasing by an average of 45%, and 65% of mothers connected to the childcare crew app are leading to actual offline meetings.
"Jjak Crew," which is available free of charge on the "Yugacrew" app, is a 1:1 service that recommends the best child care partners based on the child care profile entered by the user. Using algorithms derived from about 4,000 data, it connects neighborhood parenting friends with well-matched residence, timing of childbirth, number of children, job status, and childcare interests. Since the launch of the app, the "Jjak Crew" service has been operated first in some areas of Seoul.
As a neighborhood-based childcare community, "Childcare Crew" has signed MOUs with Gwanak-gu, Yeongdeungpo-gu, and Seocho-gu Childcare Support Centers to cooperate in mutual promotion and plan various programs for childcare families. Our Neighborhood Parenting Group, where mothers and children under the age of 6 can participate together, can be applied on the childcare crew app.
"Today, when 90% of Korean mothers experience depression, mothers' parenting burdens and loneliness can be solved through solidarity and connection," said Jeong Yoon-ji, CEO of Dinoz. "We plan to quickly expand the childcare crew operation area to all areas of Seoul and major hub cities by the end of this year."
Dinoz, the operator of the mobile app "Yugacrew," attracted seed investment from Bon Angels Venture Partners in December last year, and was selected as the business team of the Chung Ju-young Startup Competition, H-On Dream Startup Ground Fellow, and AWS VC Spotlight in 2023.
