FAMILY · 2026

Moxi

Unlocking flexible childcare for millions of families and growing childcare center revenue with technology.

Why Elizabeth wrote the check
Childcare is a massive opportunity, and founder/market fit is high. This is one of the most high impact "pain points" a company can address. I need this product, and I know so many others do too. I'm really impressed with their early traction and how their first community has embraced them. I believe that capital will enable them to take the tech side of their offering to the next level.

“Like the idea of diversifying with some later stage deals. And this aligns with my thesis of BFY and a generational shift away from alcohol consumption.”

ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY · 2025
“With young kids, I’m terrified of how social media and technology will impact their development. I have fond memories of our landline growing up, and I love that the platform enables people to utilize what they already have (wifi) vs setting up and paying for a phone line. I also like to see that the founders are spending time with their early customers to really understand motivation, use case, etc. this is a product that you need to get right to build loyalty but once you do the word of mouth will be explosive.”

ANGEL INVESTMENT · 2025

Play Money is the on-ramp to early-stage private markets, unlocking $100B in capital for the next gen of founders and funders.

“Play Money is helping lower the barriers to access for angel investing, an important evolution for both founders and funders. As someone who is looking to deploy more angel checks and learn along the way, Play Money has been a great platform for me. I also love that it’s an outlet where I can share great deals that I want others to invest in as well. Rooting for this team and this company!”
