EPISODE TRANSCRIPT

Episode 038 - Ashley Mooneyham & Jennie Lynch

[00:00:00] Lindsey Dinneen: Hi, I'm Lindsey and I'm talking with MedTech industry leaders on how they change lives for a better world.

[00:00:09] Diane Bouis: The inventions and technologies are fascinating and so are the people who work with them.

[00:00:15] Frank Jaskulke: There was a period of time where I realized, fundamentally, my job was to go hang out with really smart people that are saving lives and then do work that would help them save more lives.

[00:00:28] Diane Bouis: I got into the business to save lives and it is incredibly motivating to work with people who are in that same business, saving or improving lives.

[00:00:38] Duane Mancini: What better industry than where I get to wake up every day and just save people's lives.

[00:00:42] Lindsey Dinneen: These are extraordinary people doing extraordinary work, and this is The Leading Difference.

Hello, and welcome back to another episode of The Leading Difference podcast. I'm your host, Lindsey, and I am so excited to introduce you to my guests today. They are Ashley Mooneyham and Jennie Lynch. Ashley is the CEO and co founder of Momease with experience as a mother and as a PhD trained scientist to lead research and development. Jennie is the president and co founder of Momease. She is a serial entrepreneur in the nonprofit space with customer base experience leading operations.

Well, thank you so much for being here, Ashley and Jennie. I'm so excited to speak with both of you today.

[00:01:33] Ashley Mooneyham: Thank you.

[00:01:34] Jennie Lynch: Yeah, thank you for having us.

[00:01:35] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, absolutely. Well, I would love if you wouldn't mind starting off by sharing just a little bit about yourself, your background, and maybe what led you to MedTech. Ashley, do you want to start us off and we'll go from there?

[00:01:48] Ashley Mooneyham: Yeah, sure. So my background is in kind of your traditional laboratory research science. I did choose to pursue a PhD in cancer biology, and that was motivated both by my own personal experiences as a melanoma survivor, as well as, of course, knowing so many people who suffer from cancer and are impacted by cancer. I really wanted to make a difference there. And I very much intentionally chose a laboratory for my thesis work that focused on ovarian cancer research because I've always been really passionate about how scientific discovery can impact human health. And of course, as we're all aware, women's health kind of lags behind. So we need more women in science to be asking those questions and pursuing those answers when it comes to translating scientific discovery into impacting women clinical outcomes.

And I really enjoyed my thesis work, but I felt far from making that clinical impact. I was doing the traditional bench work, working with mice in the basement of my university, and I just wanted to get a bit closer to the action. So after my PhD, I became a medical writer at Superior Medical Experts, which is a Minnesota small business focused on medical writing and research support. And I actually was quickly promoted to their Director of Grants, where I helped small businesses in the medical device industry pursue federal grant funding to de risk their medical innovation. So I got to learn a lot of varieties of discipline within scientific medical device and technology innovation, and got really excited at helping them secure funding to see their idea come to life. And I've actually worked with a few companies that since working with them have made it to clinical use of their innovative technology, which was super rewarding.

Then in April 2021, I had my daughter, she's 3 years old now. And I kind of naively thought it would be easy to go back to work after that experience. But a huge pain point in my going back to work was. trying to maintain my breast milk supply for her via the breast pump. So that kind of leads into the origins of Momease solutions, but I'll save that for after Jennie gets a chance to introduce herself as well.

[00:04:12] Lindsey Dinneen: Amazing. Thank you. Jennie?

[00:04:15] Jennie Lynch: Yeah, so my background is I'm a serial non profit entrepreneur. So I founded two Minnesota based non profits focused on child development and family well being. So mostly doing the business operations and development for those two non profit organizations. The first one is Monarch Montessori School, a traditional children's house Montessori that's really rooted in the literature that supports best pedagogies for optimal child development, as well as Kaleidoscope Learning. That's my second non profit, which is a family community and resource center, just a one stop shop for families to be able to get all the best practices associated with raising their children ages birth to six years old.

I frequently work with the population that is going to be Momease solutions' customer base. So I love working with mothers, women who are pregnant or newly postpartum and are going through the very wonderful, but very precarious kind of transition into motherhood. So that's kind of where my background is. I do not have a medtech background. But I'm somebody who's really passionate about looking at the literature when it's related to child development. So what is the optimal strategy in order to really nurture a person's early development related to cognitive, physical, social, emotional development. I originally got connected with Ashley through Mutual Business Connections and I instantly loved the idea. I saw how it would be used by the women who I currently work with and just really recognized that it was a really special product. So I officially joined the team in 2023.

[00:06:05] Lindsey Dinneen: Wow. Nice. Well, congrats. How exciting. Yeah. So I love it. So would you mind telling us a little bit more about Momease and just maybe the origin story.

[00:06:19] Ashley Mooneyham: So yeah. So like I said, I had my daughter in April of 2021. I was able to nurse her without issue for eight weeks during my maternity leave and I was so excited about that because the American Academy of Pediatrics, the World Health Organization, they all recommend exclusive breast milk nutrition through six months of age. To Jennie's point to try to promote the health of our next generation with cognitive ability and various health indications that research shows are improved with that breast milk nutrition. And I really wanted that for my daughter if I could achieve it. I was grateful to not have issues nursing, but when I went back to work, I thought kind of naively that I would be able to use the breast pump to continue to feed her breast milk, even though I was remote and away.

And unfortunately, that was not the case, which is a super common issue with women. I had to pump three or four sessions to get one bottle for my daughter, so I was really working overtime, trying to do enough breast pump sessions to maintain my breast milk supply. And I was sitting at the breast pump for far too long, usually 20 to 30 minutes a session, increasing the suction power to a level that caused discomfort just in my attempt to provide my daughter with the nutrition I felt that she needed. And I was really frustrated by that because I knew, based on my successful nursing journey, that I did provide enough breast milk for her. I simply wasn't able to collect it. So the issue was with the collection mechanism.

And with my background in science, I immediately sought answers. How can I improve this experience, just for me personally, on the onset. And I did find academic studies that showed if you apply a warm compress while using a breast pump, you get more milk in less time. If you use a hand massage technique while using a breast pump, you get more milk in less time. And anecdotally, that was true. If I applied a warm compress, if I put pressure on my breasts while using a suction based breast pump, it worked. And that made sense to me because a nursing infant is doing a lot more than sucking breast milk. They're also using the warmth of their mouths and the pressure of their jaw and hands in a combination to efficiently nurse. So adding these elements back in made perfect sense.

The issue is it's not convenient. Using a breast pump is already not convenient and having all of these extra tasks while using a breast pump certainly wasn't convenient. So I literally went to Google and looked for a product that could warm and massage the breasts while I was using a breast pump in order to maintain these improved results. And I didn't find one. And I was really shocked by that. I was like, "How could this not exist when there is evidence that it works?" And I'm having personal anecdotal experience that it works. I was so disappointed.

And I sat with that disappointment for a couple of months and then realized, "Well, it doesn't exist because people like me just sit disappointed." You kind of have to get up and get going to solve the problems, especially that you see personally. And the whole first year of business before we had a lot of funding in the door, I made sure to broadly collect women's experiences with the breast pump, and I learned really quickly that I was not alone.

Our first customer discovery survey received 1, 200 responses in 24 hours, which is incredible and unexpected. I just put it out over my personal Facebook to start and it got picked up and got a lot of responses. And that alone, I think, really speaks to how passionate women are about wanting a solution and how desperate they are for wanting a solution. And every day that keeps Jennie and I going. Every day that we pitch this, every day that we talk about this, more and more women say how much this is needed and how much they're rooting for us. And that, that's our big motivation.

[00:10:22] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Wow. That is incredible. Thank you for sharing that story. And even the, I love the personal connection, but then the fact that just within 24 hours, like you said, of your own personal network, you've got this amazing response of all these women saying, "Yes, I am in the same boat or I've experienced this. Please help." I love that. So then Jennie, you're coming into this from your business development, business strategy background. And I'm wondering, how have you been able to to bring Momease along as it continues to grow and opportunities continue to come for it. And then what are you excited about as we go towards the future?

[00:11:06] Jennie Lynch: Yeah. So that's a really good question. Momease is pre launch. So, I'm continuously just having conversations with mothers, continue to get that feedback, that customer discovery. Again, being pre launched most of my focus at the moment is long term business development strategies. So just thinking about those things ahead of time, but also just day to day operational things. I'm definitely excited as we move towards launch of the product. I think that I would love to see this product in people's hands. We're currently prototyping. So just seeing women use it, as well as getting their initial feedback is something I'm just very excited about.

[00:11:46] Lindsey Dinneen: Amazing. So in this pre launch stage, I know you have a bazillion things going on, I'm sure, and there's lots to think about and a lot of exciting things happening, but what's the next step for you at this point? You have some funding, it sounds like, but now what's coming up, the very next thing?

[00:12:08] Ashley Mooneyham: Yeah. So I don't know that we've said explicitly, but just in case anyone isn't aware, we are trying to create a pumping bra with built in warmth and massage. So that's the product that we're seeking to create. And we did receive funding last year from the National Institutes of Health to pursue this, which is really exciting. So the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded us a Phase I grant to do the prototyping that we're currently underway with and achieve our proof of concept ahead of validating it and then launching the product.

So right now we're definitely in that proof of concept prototyping phase. We have seen promising early results that we were hoping to see. And now it's a matter of kind of fine tuning the product at this early stage so that when it hits the market it's more than functional, it's convenient to use. We want this to be very clear that it is a product with integrity that was also designed by a mother for mothers, designed by women for women. I think that is something that this market is looking for, and women's products are booming right now. So I feel like this is right place, right time for us to enter and hit that inflection point.

[00:13:25] Lindsey Dinneen: Absolutely. Well, congratulations on all of the success so far. I know it's not been an easy road. I'm sure there have been lots of late nights and stressful days, but you're doing it. So that's amazing. And thank you for bringing this to market because it's so needed. And I'm curious, is your goal to be able to provide this directly to consumers? Are you hoping to have an intermediary? What are your thoughts with that? Because I'm sure some people are so excited to go, "When is this going to be real?"

[00:13:59] Ashley Mooneyham: That's such a good question.

[00:14:00] Jennie Lynch: Yeah, absolutely. So we have two ways we would love to enter the market. The first one is traditional business to consumer channels, so sales directly through our website, maybe at brick and mortar stores, big box stores, boutiques, being listed on online retailer websites. Just the traditional ways you can get a consumer good into your hands. The second channel is more business to business. We would love to sell directly to NICU units. We have heard from NICU units or individuals who work in NICU units that this is something that would be really beneficial, as well as we would love to reach out to breast pump manufacturers who might be interested in bundling our product with their breast pumps to have that kit mothers can buy right away that will have a synergistic effect right from the get go. So those are two go to market strategies.

[00:14:56] Lindsey Dinneen: Amazing. Well, that is very exciting. So as you've been going on this journey, and I'm sure you've had amazing days. I'm sure you've had some discouraging days. Are there any moments that stand out to you as really clarifying to you that you are in the right place at the right time doing what you are meant to do?

[00:15:18] Ashley Mooneyham: Yeah, absolutely. I think one that I already mentioned was that first customer discovery survey. That's one of the first things I did after formally launching this business. And it's been a through line ever since. It's a touch point that we can constantly go back to that validates why we're doing what we're doing and that it's worth pursuing.

And then shortly after that, I did start participating in pitch competitions where I was able to present this idea more widely. And the first competition that we ever entered was the HyVee Opportunity Summit, which was hosted at US Bank Stadium. And we were selected as, I think, a top nine finalist to pitch from over 900 applicants. And during that pitch contest, we took home grand prize. So out of the top nine, we got the number one prize slot. And I distinctly remember getting down from that stage so shocked that we were able to secure the grand prize our first pitch competition, but feeling so proud that what we're trying to do resonated and literally women came up to us with tears in their eyes.

And I, it just, it was so buoying. It really felt like, "Oh, this is something that matters. It's something that is beyond a solution for just myself." But 97 percent of our survey responders said that they were dissatisfied with the breast pump. And that's such an incredible dissatisfaction rate for such an essential piece of technology.

So those were two big wins for us early on. And then later last year when we were able to receive validation also from this huge federal scientific body that what we're doing is beyond like a feel good mission. It has scientific merit. It has significant potential to impact not only women's health, but human health by nourishing that next generation. That was a big win as well. And we're so excited for all of that collective experience to be really able to dig in this year to the research and development and start to make this idea a reality.

[00:17:25] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, absolutely. And Jennie?

[00:17:30] Jennie Lynch: Yeah, kind of echoing Ashley, she hit some of our big milestones in 2023. This year, I've had a couple friends and family members who've had little ones, and it's just been really interesting seeing a lot of my friends and how they're coming into motherhood. And how this product is something that they're probably not going to be using it for this child, but maybe in the future. And they're just really excited for us to be able to launch our product and for them to use it in the future. So that's something, just that verbal reassurance from our community is something that I think is what keeps us going.

[00:18:08] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, of course, that makes so much sense, and I'm so glad you have that, so much social proof, the stories of the people who are coming up to you, and then you've also, like you said, have this tangible grant that really did help say, "Yeah, this is very important, this is very needed," and I'm sure those things really help on the difficult days, so I'm so glad you have all of that.

But speaking of difficult days, I am wondering, in this journey, I'm sure there have been lots of ups and downs. What are some of the things that you have maybe been surprised about as you have gone about this new journey? And I know, Jennie, there's a lot of entrepreneurial endeavors in your background, but just in general, when you're getting into a new thing, there's always unexpected things that pop up. So just curious as anything come up for you yet?

[00:19:02] Jennie Lynch: Something that I have found unexpected and slightly challenging at times, something that Ashley and I constantly are thinking about is, how we're kind of in this in between space where we're kind of known as a consumer good, yet we are a medical device, and it's been really hard to communicate some of the challenges related to being in that in between space with a lot of either investors or cheerleaders or people who are just interested in our product. We're more complicated than that average consumer good, yet we're not going to be put into the body. We're not as technical as maybe other medical devices that are on the market. So we really are in this in between space and there aren't too many players who are as well, at least that we've come across in our own journey. So that is a weird thing that we've run into is how do we effectively communicate where we are on the market and the importance of the product.

[00:19:57] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. And Ashley?

[00:20:01] Ashley Mooneyham: Yeah. Jennie hit the nail on the head that continues to be a thorn in our side, but we are getting better and better at navigating this middle ground and explaining that's actually our secret sauce in a lot of ways, that we're not a simple consumer good, and we're not a complicated medical device. We exist in this elegant in between to hopefully be that solution. And then I think just what a lot of founders can relate to, the only other major challenge is fundraising for the effort and being really careful with the funds that we have raised to make sure that we can go as far as possible and really time the spends strategically. So that's been something that we're constantly evaluating, making sure that we're using our funds responsibly and constantly have our eye on future fundraise efforts to make sure that there's no major gap in funding that could hinder our progress. And I will just say having a co founder like Jennie through this experience has made every challenge much more bearable. So, I'm so glad that we get to go through it together. The hard days are much easier having a co founder like Jennie by my side and the good days are even more fun to celebrate.

[00:21:11] Lindsey Dinneen: Oh, I love that. So you both are absolute powerhouse women. I got to take a look at your LinkedIn profiles and I was just really admiring everything that you have done in your past, your education, your expertise, and then your commitment to community and the fact that you're still actively volunteering and you're doing all of these things. And it really struck me as not only incredibly impressive, but also I just have to ask, do you sleep?

[00:21:42] Ashley Mooneyham: I mean, I have a two month old at home, so no. But I will say, that gives me extra waking hours in the day, so that's always good. I don't know how Jennie does it.

[00:21:55] Jennie Lynch: Man, I think similar to Ashley, I do have a good support network and I think that makes all the difference. I don't think that I could achieve what I have without the friends and family who continue to uplift me. So that's what keeps me going too.

[00:22:10] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yeah. Good reminder about the importance of community, absolutely. That's phenomenal. What is your top piece of advice you have for other women medtech founders specifically, or women medtech leaders.

[00:22:27] Ashley Mooneyham: Yeah. I mean, it's something I constantly think about and learned through this journey is that being a woman founder is a strength. It's not a weakness. You don't need to justify being a woman founder. You don't need to justify pursuing a women's health problem with a women's health solution. I actually think all of that is a strength. And the second I stopped defending myself as a founder and defending my product and instead presented it as the opportunity it is and found like minded, passionate individuals like Jennie to join the journey, the more success we had. So I would just encourage all women founders, women entrepreneurs to remind yourself that you are doing something exceptionally valuable and your perspective is exceptionally valuable. And it's not something that you need to make excuses for or feel like you need to be on the back foot about.

[00:23:24] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yeah. Jennie, do you have anything to add to that as well?

[00:23:29] Jennie Lynch: Wow. Yeah, absolutely. The main takeaway that I have since starting entrepreneurship is create a community with people around you who will continue to support you. And mostly what I mean by that is Ashley and I have already established a community, both in Minnesota and nationally, that incorporates women health founders, and the amount of just brainstorming and good ideas that we get bouncing ideas off of one another is really wonderful. And it's great being able to connect with women who are in a similar position.

[00:24:06] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, that's great advice. Thank you both. Yeah, so pivoting the conversation a little bit, just for fun. Imagine that you were to be offered a million dollars to teach a masterclass on anything you want. It could be in your industry, could be about what you're currently doing, but it doesn't have to be. What would you choose to teach and why?

[00:24:27] Ashley Mooneyham: Well, I can give an industry specific answer right away if Jennie wants a couple more minutes to think. This might be the more boring answer, but Jennie leads an exciting life, so she can back end this with something more fun. But like I said, my expertise originally was in helping companies secure that non dilutive grant funding. Honestly, I want to spread that message more to small businesses, because I hear over and over again how much funding ends up being a barrier to small businesses, especially in the earliest stages of ideation and de risking whatever it is that they think matters and should be introduced to the market space. And that ends up stopping so many great ideas from getting a chance even to move forward in the market.

So I am constantly working on this now without a million dollars, but if I had a million dollars I'd love to just be able to spread that message more, especially to the businesses that have that mission and heart behind them. So right now there's that White House initiative, as well as the National Institutes of Health Initiative to fund women's health research. Every female entrepreneur I meet in women's health, you can't get me to stop talking about federal grant funding and pursuing grant funding to really maintain ownership over your idea, ownership over that direction, which is going to be important for any founder, but particularly those that are trying to represent disadvantaged populations or underrepresented populations. You get to maintain your ownership and you get to de risk your idea so that you can move it forward. That's just where my mind goes to right away.

[00:26:09] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, excellent. Very needed too, so.

[00:26:13] Jennie Lynch: I guess if I had to teach a master class, I can come in with something a little bit more fun. So a couple years back, I spent a lot of time traveling. I was doing the digital nomad thing, so maybe a master class on all the ins and outs that come with how to work. And live on the road and you know how to organize your life a little bit to make that a little bit more streamlined. There was some trial and error for a couple years and I have this wealth of knowledge that's all living in my head, but it would be really cool to bring that to life in a master class, I think.

[00:26:48] Lindsey Dinneen: Absolutely. Yes, as a digital nomad myself, I fully understand what you're talking about and getting, that learning curve can be a little steep sometimes accidentally you think, "Oh yeah, I'm prepared."

[00:27:03] Jennie Lynch: Yeah, exactly. You never know what, what's going to come up when you're traveling around.

[00:27:09] Lindsey Dinneen: I always say there's never a dull moment. And then, how do you wish to be remembered after you leave this world?

[00:27:17] Ashley Mooneyham: Jennie, your turn to go first.

[00:27:20] Jennie Lynch: Sure, I can go first. Yeah, well, I guess if there was something that I would love for, I would love to be known as a very loving person, a kind friend, somebody who's always positive, and gives everybody the benefit of the doubt. I guess a distinct characteristic that I would love to be remembered for is maybe what my partner calls "activator energy." I really love just immediately tackling a project, bringing something from zero to one. So if I had one characteristic, it would be that kind of activator energy characteristic.

[00:27:56] Lindsey Dinneen: I love that.

[00:27:58] Ashley Mooneyham: I do too. And that's a perfect answer. Yeah, I agree with Jennie. What matters most are those interpersonal relationships and connections that you have in close community with. Those are the things that matter most to me. It's way more important to be a good wife, good mother, good friend, good daughter in the time that we have. But also obviously, I'm hoping with Momease to leave a legacy that does make an impact in women's health one way or another. And I try to keep that in perspective with our business goals always that any win that we have is a win for women's health. Anything that we achieve is validation that funding women's health is worth it and that this field is worth pursuing. And I hope that it continues to improve after our journey ends with Momease, wherever that ending point is. And I hope that's a way that we can leave our thumbprint outside of our families with something a bit greater.

[00:28:58] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yeah. Those are beautiful answers. Yeah, and then my final question. What is one thing that makes you smile every time you see or think about it?

[00:29:11] Ashley Mooneyham: Well, my answer is easy. I have children, so that's obviously a joy in my life. And another thing that keeps me going every day, I want my kids to know that if they have an idea that you should bet on yourself and pursue it. And I hope that I can model that for them, even in an uncertain, scary landscape like entrepreneurship. So yeah, grateful for my kids. I have a daughter and a son.

[00:29:38] Jennie Lynch: For me, it's just a nice cup of coffee, but immediate smile.

[00:29:44] Lindsey Dinneen: I can relate to that, especially in the morning first thing when you're just like trying to get recombobulated and here we go.

[00:29:52] Jennie Lynch: Absolutely.

[00:29:53] Ashley Mooneyham: Yeah, that first cup isn't even a smile. It's just necessity. And then if I get an afternoon cup, that's where then the joy comes in.

[00:30:01] Jennie Lynch: Yes.

[00:30:02] Lindsey Dinneen: That's fantastic. That's amazing. Well, thank you both so very much for spending some time with me today and sharing your stories and your advice, and I am so excited to see Momease continue to succeed, and I love what you're doing, and this is so needed, and you have this wide open space for it, and that's insane, but I'm so thankful that you guys are taking the time and the effort and the funds and everything to make it come to life because it is so needed. So, gosh, just thank you for what you're doing.

[00:30:36] Ashley Mooneyham: Thank you for being a platform.

[00:30:39] Lindsey Dinneen: Of course, and we are so honored to be making a donation on your behalf as a thank you for your time today to Save the Children, which works to end the cycle of poverty by ensuring communities have the resources to provide children with a healthy, educational, and safe environment. So thank you so much for choosing that charity to support, and also thank you for continuing to work to change lives for a better world. We're grateful, and I wish you the most amazing continued success.

[00:31:11] Ashley Mooneyham: Thank you.

[00:31:12] Jennie Lynch: Thank you.

[00:31:13] Lindsey Dinneen: Absolutely. And thank you also to our listeners for tuning in. And if you're feeling as inspired as I am at the moment, I would love if you would share this episode with a colleague or two, continue to spread the word about these amazing innovations, and we will catch you next time.
