How we got here
Every step was about one thing: does this actually work for real mothers, in real places?
Autumn 2024
Tech Validation Program
UtrechtInc - Utrecht Science Park
Nestpod completed the Tech Validation Program at UtrechtInc - the startup incubator of Utrecht University, ranked among the top 15 incubators in Europe by the Financial Times. Product, experience and operational model were tested with real users. Not assumptions - evidence.

Introduced to the people it was built for
Negenmaandenbeurs - RAI Amsterdam
Nestpod debuted at the largest maternity fair in the Netherlands. Over four days, mothers used it, responded to it, and told us what it meant to them. That direct feedback - unfiltered - shaped everything that came after.
"Finally, a real solution - not a curtain in a corner."

Scouted by FC Utrecht Next
Innovation platform of FC Utrecht
FC Utrecht Next selects startups that contribute to the future of the club and the city - across sport, talent and the stadium. Nestpod was chosen for their Stadion & Gebied pillar. And Utrecht, as Heart of Health, made that a natural fit: a city that takes wellbeing seriously, choosing a startup that puts it into practice.

Real-world proof at SV Kampong
Europe's largest omni-sports club, Utrecht
At SV Kampong - home to thousands of members - Nestpod ran its first operational placement. We learned how mothers actually use the space, what it changes for them, and how a location experiences having it. The pilot is complete. The answer is clear.
"Als de grootste omnisportvereniging van Europa willen wij een plek zijn waar iedereen zich welkom voelt, ook jonge ouders die hun sportieve ambities willen combineren met het gezinsleven. Samenwerken met Nestpod is voor ons een logische stap."
Alexia Sifneos - Clubmanager Hockey, SV Kampong
Find out what your space means to a mother
Six months. That's all it takes to know whether your workplace or venue truly lives up to what you say about yourself. Mothers will tell you - through how they feel, how long they stay, whether they come back.
Most organisations assume they're inclusive. Nestpod gives you something more useful than an assumption: real experience, from real people, in your actual space.
Whether you're an employer thinking about colleagues returning from maternity leave, or a venue whose visitors include young families - the question is the same: what does it feel like to be a nursing mother here?
After six months, you'll know.
