What’s Working: Submittable’s In-Office Daycare in Missoula, Montana

Building a startup in a small city like Missoula, Montana, has its advantages. Homeownership is more attainable, public school systems tend to see higher performance than in larger, more populated cities, and there’s generally lower cost of living and greater access to outdoor spaces.

But smaller cities face their own unique sets of challenges too. Late last year, NBC Montana reported on the lack of affordable childcare options for Missoulans. The Missoula Chamber of Commerce surveyed parents in the area to get their input on a range of possible solutions, including the use of an empty public school for childcare or opening a daycare facility within a shopping mall. Another option on the table included private employer-funded childcare facilities, which submission management platform and True portfolio company Submittable decided to pursue.
