Today, I’m joined by Anushka Salinas, CEO of Nanit.
A parenting tech company with 1.3M users, Nanit evolved from a smart baby monitor to a full ecosystem for insights on kids’ sleep, health, safety, and developmental milestones.
In this episode, we discuss bringing data to early childhood’s unmeasured years.
We also cover:
