Description:
At MilkSpace, we are passionate about providing outdoor public space operators and event organizers with a premium, mobile, public-use lactation space. Fundamentally, we aim to solve the all-too-prevalent challenge of outdoor breastfeeding. To achieve our mission, we plan to partner with local governments organizations and other events to enable their female customers to comfortably breastfeed — “No Matter HER Location.”
Finally, MilkSpace strives to spread its social impact initiative, "Match It 4 HER!" Through our initiative, we hope to lessen breastfeeding disparities in communities of color, specifically for black low-income mothers. Specifically, we plan to partner with Community-Based-Organizations (CBO) and for-profit entities to provide access to breastfeeding essentials and breastfeeding resources by way of donations!
How company would use funds & coaching:
If MilkSpace, LLC was blessed to receive the award, the funds would exclusively support the purchase a high-roof van and its modification into a MOBILE MILKSPACE. To convert the van, we plan on implementing internal and external modifications that allow for private, convenient, and sanitary outdoor lactation space. Once converted, we will offer our services to any DFW, B2B, or B2C — this year!
Additionally, the $10,000 will significantly enhance my ability to attract, engage, better serve, and retain my customers. I intend for MilkSpace to become the leader in mobile lactation and to be recognized as such.
A coach is crucial in achieving my mobile MilkSpace goals. As a one-woman-show, the day-to-day responsibilities and distractions can become daunting. Sometimes it is challenging for me to escape from a tunnel vision. I could really benefit from a coach that listens to my complex thoughts, provides me with constructive feedback (even if it hurts ;), and holds me accountable to my goals. I am eager to listen to as much as my coach can offer — whether that’s daily, weekly, or monthly.
Finally, I am fully aware of my strengths and weaknesses. I hope to use this knowledge and my coach’s input to become a better leader and entrepreneur. Although I feel I have been blessed with a clear vision for MilkSpace, as a new business owner, I have both arms opened wide to receive any and all advice. I am ready to listen to and learn about the best business practices to position me for immediate and long-term growth.
