Startup Grind ft. Adriana C. Vázquez, Co-Founder & CEO of Lilu [event recap]

Over lunch on Tuesday, June 30th, 1776 hosted Startup Grind with Adriana C. Vázquez, Co-Founder and CEO of Lilu. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania’s Integrated Product Design masters program, Adriana founded Lilu in 2016 with another Penn engineer. They recognized that new moms have been vastly ignored by technology, especially when it comes to breast pumping; so they developed the Lilu Massage Bra, that gives the benefits of massage while breastfeeding, hands-free! 

Adriana spoke about how technology can better support women, especially new moms facing limited maternity leave options, how the novel coronavirus potentially affects Lilu’s business, and what she hopes to develop next. An engaged virtual audience had the chance to ask Adriana questions about founding her company, and how her product is differentiated on the market.
