Company profile
researched Sep 2026Memby is developing a platform that lets providers working with children from birth onward create, prescribe and track "prescriptions for play" carried out in the home. The company frames its product around calls by the American Academy of Pediatrics, first issued in 2007 and restated in 2025, for a prescription for play in response to a decline in children's play, and cites associated outcomes including lower math and reading scores, reduced school readiness, and increased anxiety, depression and child suicide, as well as caregiver-child attachment difficulties.
The company states it is part of Floracracy, Inc. and describes itself as a Techstars portfolio company. Its website indicates the product is scheduled for release in May 2026, with contact handled through a general information email address rather than a self-serve signup or sales process.
