Tot Squad is the in-store and in-home Baby Concierge service trusted inside Target. We're already on the ground in Alabama — coaching new parents through registry, nursery and newborn prep, employing local specialists, and routing dollars back into the communities that need them most.
Click to see our Alabama footprintTot Squad's Alabama footprint is small by design — a deliberate beachhead inside the country's most trusted family retailer, staffed by Alabamians serving their own neighbors. These three locations together function as Tot Squad's in-state operating presence.
Tot Squad's Alabama operations run out of our three Target store-in-store locations in Birmingham, Huntsville, and Montgomery, staffed daily by five Alabama-resident concierges. This in-state network is our 3 Alabama physical locations and offices of record.
Tot Squad operates inside Target's baby section, the #1 trusted registry destination for new parents in Alabama.
All five are Alabama residents earning income locally, coaching new parents through registry, nursery setup, feeding, sleep, and newborn prep — inside Target and in the home.

Alabama's families face some of the steepest maternal and infant-health headwinds in the country. That's exactly where Tot Squad's model creates outsized impact per dollar deployed.
Among the highest in the U.S. Trained postpartum support in the first year of life is one of the few interventions that measurably improves outcomes at the household level.
A continuous, repeatable customer base. Every family is a potential Tot Squad in-store consult, concierge visit, or registry session.
Maternity-care deserts make accessible, in-store and in-home baby expertise more than a convenience — it's a real support system for parents with nowhere else to turn.
The U.S. Surgeon General has called new-parent stress a public-health emergency — parents are, in his words, "too stressed to function."
Tot Squad's Baby Concierge model — inside Target and in the home — directly reduces that stress in the first year, exactly when Alabama's maternal-health and infant-outcome gaps hit hardest. Through MotherFund, Alabama moms who can't afford postpartum help receive subsidized concierge sessions and can direct that support to whatever eases their specific anxiety — sleep coaching, feeding, nursery setup, or car-seat guidance from a partner of their choosing.

We don't ship work out of state. Concierges are paid Alabama residents, our retail partner has Alabama storefronts, and our training credential travels with the worker.

I walked into Target for a registry scan and left with an actual plan — bassinet, feeding setup, what to pack for the hospital. Their Baby Concierge sat with me for an hour. I stopped feeling underwater that day.
I was looking for flexible work after my second kid. Now I'm the person every new mom in my zip code calls. It's real income, on my hours, doing something that actually matters here.
There's almost nothing out here for new parents anymore. A Tot Squad Baby Concierge came out for a home visit through MotherFund — helped me set up the nursery and figure out feeding. Felt like having a sister who'd done it before.
With ~58k Alabama births annually and a verified retail beachhead inside Target, this seed round takes Tot Squad from a 3-store beachhead to a statewide new-parent support network in 36 months — capital-efficient, labor-leveraged, and Alabama-first.
Target operates approximately 23 stores in Alabama. Tot Squad is already live in 3 of them (13%). The post-seed operating plan saturates every Alabama Target, then the 2027–2028 expansion path is Walmart — where active partnership discussions are already underway and where Alabama's door count jumps by an order of magnitude.
Walmart operates roughly 136 stores across Alabama. A Walmart store-in-store rollout multiplies Tot Squad's Alabama door count ~6× on top of a fully saturated Target footprint.
* Alabama Target store count derived from current 3-door footprint = 13% of in-state Targets, implying ~23 Target locations statewide. Walmart AL store count per Walmart's public store locator. Expansion cadence per the post-seed operating plan below.
