What this episode covers

Kaitlin McGreyes, founder of Be Her Village, explains her gift registry model that funds postpartum support services like night nurses and doulas rather than physical baby gear, addressing the isolation and lack of support new mothers face. Nicole Argüelles, co-founder of Alli, describes her hardware solution to period poverty: a modern, touchless vending machine dispensing hygiene products in public restrooms, currently deployed in South Florida with plans for national expansion. Both founders discuss their early-stage operations, team building, and how the $50,000 How I Built This Fellowship grant will accelerate their community and hardware deployment efforts.
