## About Pearachute

Pearachute was a subscription service based in Chicago, founded in 2016 by Desiree Vargas Wrigley.

The company connected parents with local kids' classes and activities, offering flexible, drop-in access without long-term commitments. It operated as a monthly membership club, allowing users to book classes and cancel up to an hour in advance. Pearachute provided a variety of activities, from ballet to baseball, catering to family schedules. The core offering was a monthly subscription for discovering, booking, and attending kids' classes at a discount. Pricing options included $79 per month for five classes or $99 for unlimited access, later adjusting to $39 for four classes. Pearachute expanded its listings significantly, reaching about 300,000 classes across various cities. During the pandemic, it pivoted to virtual experiences available nationwide, achieving $1.3 million in annual revenue by mid-2021. The company expanded to several cities and raised substantial funding before closing in June 2022.
