Building What Investors Couldn’t See: Jenny Lynn Walding, Milkmade, And The Business Of Maternal Health

from Women Advancing

When you are getting ahead of the market curve, your business ideas may face a lot of skepticism and naysayers – but you need to trust your own instincts to succeed. Kate Byrne is joined by Jenny Lynn Walding, who shares what it takes to successfully build a new category in maternal health that investors do not recognize yet. She looks back on the origins of her lactation portfolio company milkmade, from how she secured funding for it and how she overcame the difficulties in building a strong community around it. Jenny Lynn also discusses the importance of educating your funders, vendors, and audiences, as well as pumping up the volume of your inner voice instead of giving in to the pressure of suppressing it.Love the show?
