childcare can work better
Mom-founded and parent-led, we're on a mission to make childcare work better for all of us.

With Moxi, children learn and play in safe and beautiful spaces designed just for them; parents have dependable, flexible care options with greater availability; and care workers get the wages and benefits they deserve. It's a win-win-win in our book.
About Moxi's CEO: 
Cori Fain-Forrest

Cori is a social impact leader with 10+ years of experience working in tech startups, governments, and nonprofits—but her drive to build Moxi comes from a place of personal experience.

After spending 6 years as a childcare worker making minimum wage, and then later as a working mom struggling to find care, Cori experienced both sides of the growing childcare crisis.

"I was on 10 daycare waitlists by the time I was three months pregnant. My son is now a year old, and we are still waiting for a spot."

Shocked to discover that in the decade since she worked in care, the industry had not only not improved, but worsened—and while still struggling to find care for her own child—Cori decided to take action. She left her leadership role at a promising startup to found Moxi.

"Moxi is a love letter to my sister, my mom, all the women I’ve worked with, all the women I’ve watched struggle under the burden of care for their own families. But it's also for those who care for others’ families, often at poverty-level wages and without benefits, out of the goodness of their hearts. It’s time that we bring innovation and investment to the work that makes all other work possible."
