Halogen Ventures Announces Close of Fund III At $30 Million to Re-Engineer the Future of Family And Childcare

Led by Jesse Draper(General Partner), Ashley Balla(Partner), Jennifer Mandelbaum(Partner), Brian Macinnes(CFO), and Adriana Gadala-Maria Ochi(Senior Associate), Halogen Ventures has announced Fund III at $30 Million to prioritize investments in the $7.5T Future of Family category with a focus on childcare while continuing to invest in female-founded companies who are innovating and solving global problems across industries. Founded in 2015, Halogen Ventures has invested in some of the well-known female-founded companies, including Everlywell, Babylist, Flex, HopSkipDrive, Upwards, Dacora, and Metropolis among others.

The $7.5 trillion Future of Families market is rapidly growing as family dynamics evolve. Post-pandemic, women have lost over $800B in income due to a worsening childcare crisis, with 40% of U.S. families struggling to find care.

Halogen’s third fund will address these urgent needs by investing in five key areas: Childcare, Education/EdTech, FamTech, Child & Youth Services, and the Digital Workplace—aiming to better support modern families and close the care gap.
