Tolan raises $30 million from USV, Khosla Ventures and Homebrew

The app, originally launched in 2023 as Portola, now serves about 250,000 monthly users, 70% of whom are women and 40% parents. One in six users cares for an aging parent, and the core demographic is aged 30 to 45. Users pay between $10 and $200 per month for premium tiers, and the company reports annual recurring revenue in double‑digit millions with a 115% year‑over‑year improvement in net user retention after 30 days. A recent survey of nearly 5,000 active users found 91% have at least one human they can count on, 94% turn to a Tolan when that person is unavailable, and more than half say their real‑life relationships have improved.
