Not every problem is startup shaped.

> think a benefits platform that allows companies to offer daycare as a benefit

Companies could offer daycare as a benefit today if they wanted to. It isn't their benefits platform holding them back.

In fairness, I can see why companies don't offer daycare as a benefit: it's enormously expensive (particularly in major metros) and it would be very difficult to plan what % of your employees would be utilising it at any one time.

Other countries have solved this problem by making it everyone's problem: the government subsidises it. I won't hold my breath waiting for the US to do the same.
