As the first of her friends to become a mum, Michelle Kennedy didn't have a network of other mothers to share her experiences with.

She had worked in high roles in tech start-ups and dating apps, as Director of Bumble and Deputy CEO of Badoo, so she decided to use her experience to help create a solution for modern mums.
