00:00I'm Nikki, a former global HR executive, a two-times TEDx host, a twin mom, and founder
00:10of Ms. Poppins, a 24-7 digital platform offering real-time support and coaching to parents
00:15in every phase and challenge of their parenting journey.
00:18We're now seeking 500K safe with 10 million cap as we enter our pre-seed.
00:25Thank you.
00:27So, it sounds like it's just a resource for parents and caregivers.
00:35Is that what you picked up?
00:36I think a marketplace for parents and business.
00:39Do you find it surprising that we're all kind of wondering what actually is this thing?
00:43Is there already a solution in market?
00:45A solution?
00:46There's a million solutions.
00:47Like, I'm curious to know how are they going to show up at the top of search, which we
00:51all know is very expensive.
00:52I'm just not sure, to be honest.
00:54Well, should we vote?
00:57Approved.
00:59I think that it's going to be difficult to, one, get the LOIs converted to customers,
01:05and then that's just a hunting license.
01:07You have to get users to actually use it.
01:09So, I think I'm a pass.
01:11I'm scared, even though I don't know anything about it.
01:14And the guy who knows a lot about it is even more scared than I am.
01:17So, I'm afraid I'm going to pass as well.
01:21I honestly love the idea of parenting on demand.
01:24I'm still afraid of the execution risk.
01:26I love your passion.
01:27I also think from a valuation standpoint, that'd be very hard for me to invest at a
01:31$10 million safe cap.
01:33So, for that reason, I'm going to pass.
01:38But we have something very special.
01:41And on behalf of Amazon Business, we want to gift you $10,000 cash in order to grow
01:49your business.
01:50Thank you so much.
01:51That is phenomenal.
01:53Thank you, Kim.
01:54Thank you, Mark.
01:55Congratulations.
01:56Thank you.
