Today on the show we're pumped to have Alex Sinickas, founder of Milkdrop, who is changing the way women feel about breast pumps.

Now we've got your attention, Milkdrop is a medical product design company, focused on creating beautiful products and experiences for women. Why start with breast pumps? They can make women feel like cows and Alex is doing something about it.

Starting with a stint in investment banking, then working as a civil engineer in Australia and Canada; Alex later specialised in commercialising research before founding Milkdrop in March 2019. Incredibly, they've released their first product already and are working on a game changing breast pump. We love everything about Milkdrop and this is such an excellent example of women solving problems unique to our experience and the impact of investing in women.

We are so excited to have Alex on the show today - she is doing radical things for women. We're tackling how she went from an idea to a product in the market in under two years, why products for women are being under-invested in and everything in between.

About Alex and Milkdrop

Milkdrop is a medical product design company, focused on creating beautiful products and experiences for women.

Passionate about medical products that make women feel good? Want to play a part? Great! It turns out there isn't a lot of research about the size and shape of women's nipples, and as you can imagine it's pretty hard to revolutionise breast pumps without that handy info. Fill out Milkdrop's Measure for Mum survey - it takes 2 minutes and you'll play a part in making women feel good.
