Cradlewise

Seed Round in 2021

Its flagship product learns from a baby's sleep patterns, detecting early signs of wakefulness and gently rocking the baby back to sleep. The crib incorporates features like auto-swinging and contactless monitoring to track an infant's posture, activity, and breathing rate. By providing these capabilities, Cradlewise aims to assist parents in managing their children's sleep while also promoting safety and reducing the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

Oyalabs

Seed Round in 2018
Our mission is to translate ground-breaking science into innovative products that empower families to raise lifelong learners. Founded by a Stanford neuroscientist and a father of 2 young boys, our first product is Wunder, which is the first personalized, science-based platform to help new parents lead their little ones learning journey through play, imagination, and collaborative curiosity. The first idea for Oyalabs came about when our founder's first son was born with a congenital medical condition and he was looking for a science-based resource for parents to ensure they are stimulating not just physical but also cognitive development of their child - knowing 0-3 is the most critical period for intervention as 90% of the brain grows then. After positive results from a clinical study, in Summer 2017, we created Wunder to help harness predictive technologies to build tools to nurture not only Lamont’s own sons, as well as something meaningful and impactful for all families. Our technology has been shown to improve a child's language and cognitive outcomes in a research trial and has won the Best of BabyTech Learn & Play award at CES 2018. Based on the data and interactive curriculum in the Wunder app, the platform recommends parents age-appropriate activities, books and toys to teach and motivate parents to provide the most stimulating learning experience for their everyday bonding. Wunder is currently in Beta and parents with children between 0-24 months can apply to get access here: www.hellowunder.com/beta

Hello, Peanut!

Seed Round in 2017
Hello, Peanut™ enables parents to easily and gradually introduce small amounts of peanut to their infant, as early as five months of age, over the course of seven days. It is designed to be mixed into first stage foods, and thus can be presented much earlier than other peanut products. After the introductory week, the Hello, Peanut!™ maintenance packets are recommended for infants until they can eat peanut in spread or whole form. Hello, Peanut!™ is geared toward the general infant population. High risk infants (history of eczema and/or existing food allergy) need to be evaluated by their pediatrician or allergist prior to peanut introduction. Hello, Peanut!™ is not designed to treat or cure any form of food allergy.
