Hi - great idea! Is each package only used for 1 pumping session and then all parts are disposed of or do the packages contain parts for multiple pumps throughout the day? I’m just trying to reconcile how much it might cost and a reasonable subscription amount someone might be...

Great question! The current design plan is that each kit would be used for one pumping session and then disposed of. The only reusable pieces would be tiny components like the duckbill valve (easy to carry multiple spares of, unlike a full flange).

This keeps costs reasonable while eliminating the washing and sanitizing burden for the sessions that matter most.

Are these currently available for purchase? If so, where? Also, do you have any competitors who have a biodegradable product? Thank you.

There are disposable pump bags and traditional reusable parts on the market, but nothing that combines biodegradability + full session convenience the way we...

What is the exit plan (acquisition, IPO, merger, etc.) in which investors will be able to see a ROI?

At this stage, we’re focused on building a strong, scalable company with a product that solves a real and persistent need. Companies in maternal health, consumer health, and baby product categories often grow through acquiring innovative products that complement their existing portfolios. Our goal is to build a product and brand that would be attractive to those types of strategic partners, while also creating a sustainable business with recurring revenue.
