| Tell us about your company: |
| Fussy Mom is a supplement company delivering trustworthy, research-based supplements women can feel good about taking and proud to share with others. Our goal is to help women be smarter about their supplement choices, so they are not wasting their money and are getting the benefits they’re looking for. Moms are constantly reading labels, asking questions, and making thoughtful choices for everyone else. So why should their own health be any different? |
| What inspired you to start your business? |
| The story of Fussy Mom began with my personal pregnancy journey and the frustration at how little nutrition guidance existed for moms like me. I found out I have the MTHFR gene variant, and I was also diagnosed with gestational diabetes early on in both of my pregnancies. It was a struggle to find clean, bioavailable formulas that actually supported my health. I kept seeing the same thing: supplements full of low-quality synthetics or trendy delivery systems full of sugar that didn’t actually deliver anything. |
| What are your proudest achievements so far? |
| Launching Fussy Mom, my own supplement company. I’ve dreamed of being in this spot for the last 10 years, but the goal has always felt too big, so I kept shrinking my vision. Today I’m so proud that I’m stepping fully into the dream! |
| What advice do you have for aspiring entrepreneurs: |
| Be bold and build fast but know that you’re never alone. Ask for help early and often! You’ll be amazed at just how people genuinely want to help. |
| Please share a memory or thought about your alma mater: |
| So many wonderful memories! – My very first time tailgating before the USC-UCLA game and having my friend wear the UCLA colors while sitting in our side. He got so many mean glances! – Watching and participating in the Venture Seed Competition – Meeting so many amazing, talented people! |
