What a year it’s been for Lunnie! From a second patent to winning another pitch competition to being named a Scary Mommy Best Nursing Bra, Lunnie has had many milestones to celebrate. Thank you Lunnie Hive for your support! Highlights include:
Second Patent Awarded: The Lunnie bra holds both utility and design patents for our innovative product! My mom and I are named inventors, joining 10.9% of patent holders who are female.
Met Sara Blakely at Female Founder Collective Conference in NYC: Meeting Sara Blakely and gifting her a Lunnie bra was a dream come true. Sara's journey founding Spanx has inspired my own entrepreneur journey immensely.
Added Another Hospital Partner: Lunnie partnered with a fantastic health system in California to gift Lunnie bras to new mothers right at birth. Together, we are helping improve breastfeeding outcomes and provide exceptional patient experiences.
Won Dayton Startup Week Pitch Competition and $15,000: This marks the fourth major pitch competition Lunnie was won. Thank you to Launch Dayton and the Entrepreneurs' Center for your support.
Voted Scary Mommy Best Nursing Bra 2025: Thanks to real moms and voters, Lunnie was named Scary Mommy Reader's Choice Best Nursing Bra! We couldn't be more honored.
On a personal note, I was able to achieve every working mom's dream - taking the summer slower to be with my three daughters. It's taken years of building this business to get to this point. I'm so grateful to chase my dreams alongside motherhood, at my own speed.
As I look forward to 2026, I’m excited to reach even more breastfeeding moms by expanding Lunnie’s retail and healthcare partnerships, as well as licensing conversations. Because every postpartum mom deserves to feel pretty + powerful.
Xx,
