Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, the company operates a network of plasma donation centers across the United States. Parachute distinguishes itself in the industry by integrating a proprietary mobile application that allows donors to schedule appointments, track their earnings, and manage their donation process with transparency and ease. The company's mission is to increase global access to life-saving plasma, which is a critical component in manufacturing therapies for chronic illnesses such as immune disorders, bleeding disorders, and cancer. The company combines physical donor centers with a digital-first approach, aiming to provide a "fast, friendly, and clean" experience for its members.
