🦄 Unicorner Startup of the Week: 123 Baby Box
 
✍️ Notes From The Editors
 
This week's startup tackles an interesting space: parent tech! We've historically covered a lot of different angles on how tech helps parents. Some notable startups include Whirli, a subscription toy service for growing kids; Ruth Health, a telehealth platform for pregnancy; and EarlyBird, an easy way to have friends and family invest in your child's future.
 
Today's article is written by Luca Traverso. He's a recent UCLA grad currently interning for the venture studio Mahway. He loves everything having to do with startups and writes about entrepreneurship, product, and more on his Medium page. You can also connect with him on LinkedIn!

In addition, 123 Baby Box means parents spend less money on products for their babies because they don't have to spend on products they don't need.
