Who Are We?
Powered by technology and compassionate design, Parachute has reimagined the plasma donation experience into one that is easier and friendlier. Using a simple app, our members can book donations and track earnings from the palm of their hand. In using a tech-forward approach, we’re able to offer each member a highly personable and best-in-class experience that’s consistent at each and every visit.
Our vision is to introduce an elevated plasma donation experience that’s grounded in convenience to markets with smaller populations. This model allows us to positively impact the industry supply chain and help patients gain access to the medication they need.
We have grown from 2 to 30+ operations in less than three years and plan to continue our rapid expansion. We are looking for people who share in our passion for helping others and are invigorated by the speed at which our start up moves. Come join us as we help the world gain access to more plasma - one donation at a time.
