Episode 25 – Birgitta de Gruijter – Nestpod
In this episode, Laurie Lancee speaks with Birgitta de Gruijter, co-founder of Nestpod.
Nestpod is building the new standard for lactation facilities in Europe: a freestanding, fully equipped nursing pod for workplaces, airports, shopping centres and anywhere else mothers need a proper space.
Three out of four breastfeeding mothers quit earlier than they want to, simply because it is too hard. One out of three young moms leave their job within eighteen months of returning from maternity leave, and replacing them can cost up to 150% of a yearly salary.
Nestpod offers a plug-and-play pod that only needs a power socket, fully soundproof and ventilated, designed by mothers for mothers, so companies and public spaces can finally offer a facility that actually works.
Key Metrics:
- Sector: FemTech / Workplace Infrastructure
- Country: the Netherlands
- Business model: B2B hardware, sold or rented, plus an annual maintenance and cleaning service
- Market: workplaces, airports, shopping centres, museums, zoos and other public and semi-public spaces across Europe
- Market size: 10,000+ companies in Europe already fit the target profile for a workplace pod, and the category itself barely exists yet
- Value proposition: A freestanding, fully equipped nursing pod designed by mothers for mothers, ready to use with just a power socket
