MotherKnows has raised $1.7 million in funding. The online startup, based in Menlo Park, CA, received contributions from First Round Capital, Giza Ventures, The Band of Angels, Charles River Ventures, and other investment angels. MotherKnows plans to use the capital to complete development of its mobile and web-based products and launch them.
MotherKnows is a cloud-based medical records database for children. It is intended to let parents monitor the health records of their children. It creates and maintains a Personal Health Record for each child that contains information such as blood type, allergies, medications, doctor visits, and due immunizations. Parents will have 24-hour access to their children's medical records through both the MotherKnows website and MotherKnows mobile applications. MotherKnows aims to be the first source for aggregated child health data.
The MotherKnows team is comprised of chairman and co-founder Hesky Kutcher, CEO and co-founder Greg Coff, programmer Mohammad Shahangian, and VP of Marketing Francisco Guerrero. Coff has previous experience with child services market, having been involved with Pampers and BabyCenter.com. Both Kutscher and Coff also have experience in the online automotive field.
The MotherKnows website is already live as of this writing, but the service is still in closed beta. Kutscher hopes to launch the service publicly in late summer of 2011. Although MotherKnows is its team's first project, they hope to eventually create services to target other demographics with specific health issues, such as seniors and extended families.
