#155: Getting Moms on the Go with Sascha Mayer
Manage episode 316794097 series 2086866
Happy New Year! This week, Learning Life is talking innovation for moms with Mamava co-founder Sascha Mayer.
A certified B corp, Mamava was founded in 2013 by Mayer and Christine Dodson, now COO. Mamava has over 2000 lactation pods across the country, providing mothers privacy and security while breastfeeding or pumping, as well as digital resources, community, and advocacy.
Sascha began her career as a staffer for then-congressman Bernie Sanders after graduating from UVM. Moving on to working for a design firm, Sascha, a new mother at the time, frequently traveled to meet clients or go to conventions and realized there were no places to pump privately.
The first Mamava pod was launched in the Burlington Airport in 2013, built with design in mind, a product to solve a real-world problem and bring the conversation out in the open.
Listen in to learn how Mamava is disrupting the status quo and scaling up their business in Vermont.
