We have been through parenthood.
We have used this “startup” experience to craft the perfect solution for baby sleep.
We believe parenting should be a joyful and memorable experience, full of quality time spent with your baby.
But the first years of parenting revolve around baby sleep. New parents spend a staggering 1977 hours a year (around 82 days!) just trying to get their baby to sleep. The resulting sleep deprivation adversely affects wake time with the baby.
So we're redesigning the whole baby nursery experience. We're making it smart, intuitive, and delightful. We want to make the first years of parenting as joyous as possible, for the entire family.
Join us to be a part of this change.
