Brief Summary of your Start Up: After the birth of my son in 2001 I couldn’t find any product that would help me to keep track of breast last used after nursing. As well, I fed on demand but needed help remembering when I last nursed and how many times I nursed in one day. Logs were not the answer for me as I wanted something portable – and pretty.. so after using a beaded bracelet on elastic that broke and ending up in tears – I came up with The Nursing Bracelet.

  Startup Princess is an international network committed to empowering Women Entrepreneurs by offering resources for women in business to support, mentor, collaborate, learn from, and inspire one another. In 2006, after struggling to raise funding for an initial startup business venture, Kelly King Anderson recognized an important market niche existed for reliable resources educating women desiring to start and grow successful businesses, thus Startup Princess was developed.

Successful women entrepreneurs understand that for every business venture, they are in charge of creating, organizing, developing, managing, and assuming all the risks associated with their enterprise.
