How Michelle Kennedy Built Peanut - The First Social Network for the Motherhood Journey

The Two Percent

Anu is joined by FFF portfolio founder, Michelle Kennedy of Peanut, a social platform designed to provide support, connection, and community for women throughout every stage of motherhood. Michelle has built a safe space for women unlike anywhere else on the internet, where two million users feel comfortable asking questions, engaging in intimate conversations, and finding support with complete strangers around traditionally taboo topics like IVF, miscarriage, and other "silent struggles”. Michelle dives into the lessons she learned working at Bumble and Badoo in the early days, why she’s building Peanut’s community with safety, authenticity, and empathy at the forefront, how her app is breaking down societal stigmas, and more.
