Brave Care

Oregon-based Brave Care, a spin-off of seed accelerator company Y Combinator, specializes in primary and urgent care for children aged 17 years and below. It delivers care virtually via its Brave Care Parent mobile app and in person at its four brick-and-mortar clinics ( as of March 2023). The app allows parents to connect with providers, book same-day in-clinic or virtual appointments, and check symptoms. Brave Care's services include primary care, urgent care, mental health care, and specialist referrals.

In October 2021, the company raised USD 25 million in a Series B funding round led by the national medical group Mednax, Inc. Following the funding round, Brave Care partnered with Mednax’s pediatric care program Pediatrix to expand its operations across the US. With the collaboration and funding, Brave Care planned to open two new clinics in Texas and Oregon and has planned to grow this number to 100 in the long term.
