I love babies - So much so that I've joined the Board of Babylist. Things I love about Babylist - A Female CEO and founder 🌸 - Natalie Gordon 🏆 , she built the awesome business to solve the problem of universal gift registry for parents. Who doesn't want a baby bouncy 🍼 ?! Babylist generated over $400 million in revenue last year - expanding into media, and building a health unit to help parents get reimbursement for nursing items. The team is full of amazing leaders - Lee Anne Grant & Jocelene Kwan to name a few of many!! Content, Commerce and CoPay! I'm always asked by women how do you get on a board? 1. Get IN the board meeting at your company. 2. build an active network - I was introduced to Kris Snodgrass and of Norwest Venture Partners at a The Female Quotient event sponsored by Kim Moore and her new firm - U&I Venture Partners. #newfriends 3. Be super responsive and excited about opportunities that are presented. I always listen and take the meeting - I was super impressed with everything I heard and everyone I met in the process - thank you Sonya Brown. Here's a picture of me pregnant at my baby shower in 1994 - just think - when I was pregnant there was no broadband, no iphone, no lInkedIn - but my sister in law made me this awesome cake in a bassinet. Pre - Pinterest 📌 Here's to all the new babies and working moms out there and Babylist! #mothers

That’s wonderful! Babylist is one of the companies I’m most intrigued/impressed by (being able to use affiliate and also compete by also owning checkout)

Huge congrats to you and Babylist. I saw the founder speak Marcy Venture Partners annual LP meeting last year and she was brilliant! This is a match made in heaven!

Nice share. Babylist looks more than a company with just a top line and other numbers. A community or a place of belonging perhaps.
I love Babylist! I used Babylist for my registry for both of my daughters. I have recommended Babylist to all my family and friends; they are also big fans! Congratulations on joining the board!
