Founded by physicians, KixCare was built to solve a critical gap in pediatric care: families waiting to get answers when their child needs support now. Through KixCare, families are supported by a team pediatric experts including nurses, pediatricians, and mental and allied health specialists- supporting everything from illness and injury to mental health, development, and nutrition. We’ve already supported more than 30,000 children across Canada and work with leading employers and partners to deliver care at scale. With over 90% of concerns resolved virtually, we help families get answers sooner while reducing unnecessary ER visits and long wait times. We’re now entering our next phase: building the technology platform that will power the future of pediatric care delivery. Our goal is simple but ambitious - ensure no child has to wait for care, regardless of where they live.

We are a community-powered holding company on a mission to build an ecosystem of brands where the community has a real voice and a real stake. As a U.S. Public Benefit Corporation, our structure is designed for co-creation, not just consumption.

Our first venture is a next-generation Minecraft network that will serve as the launchpad for our model. From there, we will expand into new industries—from media to technology—by partnering with visionary leaders and empowering them to build their own companies under our umbrella.
