Hey everyone,
We know we've been quiet for a couple months. Truth is, we've been in the thick of bringing our first products to life.
We've been visiting factories, testing samples, and diving into food-grade materials. Our kitchen island has been covered with boxes of samples and prototypes for weeks!
The factory visits were particularly educational. Learning about different steel and silicone types and seeing how they get shaped into products has been a crash course in materials science.
What's been most fun? Crystallizing our vision of how Haomomo's products should look, feel and work.
Our starting point has been our own experience as parents. We've looked at each product and asked: what's frustrating about this for busy parents? How can we solve that? How do we balance practicality with sustainability?
After years in corporate tech, starting something new has been a fun stretch. We've learned to get comfortable with not knowing what we're doing most of the time.
AI tools have been incredibly helpful here, from researching competitor products to understanding the differences between digital and industrial colors.
We're embracing speed over perfection. Test, learn, iterate, repeat. Some days feel overwhelming with information to absorb and tasks to tackle. But watching our vision come to life has been incredibly satisfying.
And what's next feels exciting: we're putting finishing touches on our first collection! More on that soon. Fall launch is still on track.
Until then, expect to hear from us weekly to biweekly. We'll dive into science-based baby-led weaning tips, microplastics science, and topics that motivated us to become mindful parents and create Haomomo.
Hope you’ll continue following along with us!
