A new "mommy track" is emerging as more women abandon the untenable demands of the 9-to-5 to start their own businesses. An exclusive report from Fast Company's Shalene Gupta's reveals more than 75 new companies working moms have started. f-st.co/g8QFM0J
Homes had supply. Rides had supply. Colostrum had supply.
The market showed up when someone built the infrastructure.
Human milk is the same story. The supply exists. The platform didn’t.
That’s what we’re building at Leche.
The Future isn’t just AI. The Future is Human 👊
Everyone is chasing individual peptides yet breast milk already ships thousands of them.
Human milk carries 1,000+ peptides, released before the baby even digests them.
Antimicrobial. Immune signaling. Gut barrier.
The original peptide. Shelf stable and ready for families.
This is the team behind the milk.
Screening. Logistics. Lab. Production. People and systems that only work on human milk.
The facility is one piece. The infrastructure around it is the point.
We didn’t rent a line. We built the whole thing.
Breast milk doesn’t need to be reinvented. It needs access.
We had milk to share but no safe way to share it.
The gap wasn’t supply or biology. It was the system.
If we fix the system then we solve the problem. And then elevate it with science, technology and community 😉.
The microbiome deserves all the hype.
Immunity, metabolism, mood. So much of it starts in the gut.
And that good bacteria needs the right food. That food is HMOs.
Only breast milk has the variety. Formula can add 1-5. Human milk has 200+.
Feed the bacteria. Build the system.
Breast milk isn’t new. The infrastructure is.
For generations it’s been the first food. First medicine. Gut. Brain. Immunity.
The supply chain never caught up so this milk gets wasted-billions every year.
That’s the gap we’re building.
The future isn’t only AI. It’s human.
Important message for International Women's Day #IWD2023 - Governments must recognise the value to society of women's breastfeeding and the contribution this makes to sustainable food systems.
Happy #IWD2023 everyone! ♀️
In our recent paper we call for;
📢Much greater recognition of the immense value that women generate for society through breastfeeding and other forms of care work, and their vital contributions to sustainable food systems
