Having a background in tech and dating apps, this seemed like an obvious evolution for the market to Michelle
In today’s Mom Crush interview, we had a chance to sit down with Michelle Kennedy, the founder of Peanut, the matchmaking app that helps moms connect with other moms.
After becoming a first time mom herself, Michelle saw a need in the market to connect new moms in a modern way. Her goal was to create a platform where moms could easily find other like-minded women to create real-life connections and to bond over their new, monumental life changes. So brought her idea to life and has since been overwhelmed by how quickly Peanut exploded. With over 1MM members in less than two years, clearly she was onto something!
We’re so impressed by your success with Peanut – congrats! In just 2 years over 1 million moms have joined the network, which goes to show how needed this resource was! How did the idea originally come about?
When I first got the idea for Peanut, I had recently become a mum myself and really needed some mum friends.
