Berliner Tageblatt - Affiliate of Pacific Avenue Capital Partners Completes Acquisition of Care.com from IAC

Care.com is a leading platform and brand in the growing $400 billion market for family care, anchored by the largest online network of background-checked child and senior caregivers in the U.S.

Care.com operates both a scaled consumer marketplace and an enterprise benefits platform. Since 2007, more than 45 million people have turned to Care.com to find child care, senior care, pet care and housekeeping support. Care.com also partners with more than 700 employers, including many of the Fortune 100, to deliver care-related benefits that combine access to the Care.com platform and comprehensive backup care solutions provided in-home, in-center and through camps and activities, along with a broader suite of care support solutions.

As a standalone company, Care.com will accelerate its enterprise expansion while continuing to strengthen its consumer marketplace. With Pacific Avenue's investment and support, the Company will move faster on product innovation, scale its employer partnerships, and enhance the platform experience for the millions of families and caregivers who rely on it.

"We are excited to officially welcome Care.com to the Pacific Avenue portfolio as the first investment in Pacific Avenue Fund II. The transaction aligns squarely with our focus on executing corporate carve-outs to acquire market-leading businesses with strong fundamentals and clear opportunities for value creation. We're excited to work with Brad and the Care.com team to unlock the company's full potential in serving families, caregivers, and its enterprise partners"
