#62. Predatory Marketing, Finding Resources in Healthcare, and a Mission to Help New Parents with Andrea Ippolito (founder of SimpliFed)

Jul 7, 2023
43:07

Today’s guest is an incredibly smart & talented founder — who did this interview 2 weeks after having a baby!

Andrea Ippolito is the founder of SimpliFed, a telehealth company offering support for baby feeding. This company comes from real problems Andrea has faced while being a mom to (now) 3 little kiddos.

She previously started a company in 2012, it got acquired in 2016, and she has a Master of Engineering from both Cornell and MIT.

We talk about how to sort through research (and avoid targeted/predatory marketing), starting multiple companies, and her career in the healthcare space.

There’s so much to learn in this one! Give it a listen.
