As executives managing demanding careers and a beautiful but complex blended family of 6 children across Chicago and DC, we experienced firsthand the challenges of modern family coordination.
The breaking point came during a typical Sunday evening. Molly was in Chicago with her two, Matt had just landed in DC with our youngest and picked up his three kids. We had four different calendars, multiple text threads with ex-partners, and a color-coded Excel spreadsheet that was always out of date. A simple question of "can I travel to visit a client later this month?" required checking multiple calendars, two phone calls, and rearranged schedules.
We realized that if we — two tech-savvy executives — were struggling, millions of other families must be underwater too. That's when we decided to build Blended: a solution that brings instant clarity to family schedules.
Our goal is simple: Every family member should know "who has the kids when" within 3 seconds of opening the app. No confusion, no conflicts, no stress—just peaceful coordination that lets families focus on what matters most: quality time together.
"We built Blended not just as an app, but as a bridge—connecting homes, hearts, and schedules with grace and simplicity." - Matt & Molly
