Parenthoods was a Y Combinator-backed mobile social network for parents, founded in 2014 by Siobhan Quinn and Jeni Axline in San Francisco, that helped local moms and dads discover nearby parents and share parenting experiences to counter the social isolation of early parenthood. The company raised a $1.32M seed round in November 2014 with participation from Slow Ventures, Lowercase Capital, 500 Global, and Y Combinator. The product shipped as an iOS mobile application and never published a public developer API, OpenAPI definition, SDKs, or documentation portal. The parenthoods.com domain now redirects to Wonderschool, and this profile is retained in the API Evangelist network as a Slow Ventures portfolio lead with no discoverable API surface.
parenthoods is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Parenting, Social Network, Mobile, and Consumer.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/parenthoods: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
