Enjoy a lunch buffet and networking and an inspiring presentation. Our presenter is Whitney Reeves, entrepreneur, co founder and CEO of Bitzy Baby. Bitzy Baby began with a struggle two local Maine parents faced when expecting their first child during the daunting task of registering for nursery products. Having a great awareness of the safety concerns associated with traditional crib bumpers and yet finding minimal alternatives, they felt compelled to create the solution.
As a former teacher of ten years, Whitney was used to looking outside the box to engineer designs and created the Bitzy brand you now see today. Her husband, Seabren's degree in business allowed him to confidently establish international patents and fund the growth of the business through grants and crowdfunding. With four years as active voices on the ASTM Infant Bedding Subcommittee and independent testing finding their product 30x less suffocation risk than the industry standard, they have been thrilled to offer this year their first product, the Bitzy Bumper. Learn more from co founder and CEO, Whitney Reeves, as she shares their adventurous story of beginning parents in both the entrepreneurial and family setting, while still both working full time jobs.
