Market trends


The target market is: divorced or separated parents with at least 1 child less than 18 years old living in Europe. There are 40 millions divorced parents in Europe and more than 1.6 million new divorces or separations involving children every year.

Competition


Today there are a handful of similar product offerings in the US but no major competitors here in Europe. In the US, sharing an online custody calendar is recognized by attorneys and mediators to help divorced parents to reduce conflicts. Custodyjunction.com and ourfamilywizard.com are two serious services active for more than 10 years. In Europe and more recently, Familink.com has been launched in France.
