The best way to create a product that's truly helpful and valuable is to listen to your users and be open to trying new things

Chirag Gupta, Co-Founder, Bebe Burp

shares his start-up journey from idea and execution to overcoming challenges, in an interview with the 100X.VC Team.

 

Q1. How did the idea of Bebe Burp come up?

The idea of Bebe Burp came from my own personal experience, when my sister was blessed with a baby. She was struggling to find an easy and effective way to burp her baby. This is when we realised that many other parents must be facing the same problem. That's when the idea for Bebe Burp was born! It's a simple yet effective solution to an everyday parenting problem.

Q2. What made you start working on Bebe Burp and executing this idea?

After realising that there was a need for a better way to burp babies, I started working on Bebe Burp. I wanted to make the lives of parents easier. I wanted to create a product that would be easy to use and would solve a real problem. We received positive feedback from friends and family, and that's when I knew that I had to pursue this idea and bring it to market. So, I started working on the design, development, and manufacturing of Bebe Burp. And that's how Bebe Burp was born!

Q3. When did you realise the need to raise Venture Capital - Seed funding?

The need to raise seed funding came when I realised that I needed more capital to bring Bebe Burp to market. We were at our revenue stage, but we needed more funding to finalize the design, manufacture the product, and launch it. That's when we started reaching out to potential investors and pitching the idea of Bebe Burp. And that's how I raised seed funding!

Q4. How has 100X helped you at the beginning of your journey?

100X helped me in many ways through my journey. First, they provided me with valuable feedback on my business plan and helped me to refine my pitch. Second, they introduced me to many potential investors and helped me to get in front of the right people. Third, they provided me with other resources that helped me to get started. And finally, they were a great sounding board and helped me to stay focused and motivated.

Q5. What challenges did you face & how did you overcome them?

I faced some challenges in the early days of Bebe Burp. The biggest challenge was finding the right manufacturer who could make the product to my specifications. I went through several iterations before I found a manufacturer that could meet my needs. I also had to learn a lot about product design, manufacturing, and marketing. But I was determined to make Bebe Burp a success, and I persevered through the challenges.

Q6. What stage is Bebe Burp at present?

Bebe Burp is currently in the growth stage. We've got a solid product and a growing user base. Now, we're focused on expanding our reach and growing our user base even more. We're also working on building out our team and infrastructure to support our growth. It's an exciting time for us, and we're looking forward to what the future holds.

Q7. As founders, what are your goals for the next 1-2 years?

Our goals for the next 1-2 years is to continue growing our user base, expanding our product offering and building a strong team. We want to be the go-to platform for people looking to find and share parenting advice. We also want to build a community of parents who support and learn from each other. Ultimately, we want to make a positive impact on the lives of parents and their children.

Q8. What keeps you motivated & keeps you going?

What keeps me motivated and keeps me going is the passion we have for our mission and the impact we're making on parents and their children. We've heard from so many parents about how Bebe Burp has helped them feel more confident and connected, and that's what drives us to keep going. It's not always easy, but it's worth it to know that we're making a difference.

Q9. Your message for Startup founders building in the same sector?

My message for startup founders building in the parenting space is to stay focused on your mission and not be afraid of experiment. Parenting is a complex and ever-changing landscape, and there's no one-size-fits-all solution. The best way to create a product that's truly helpful and valuable is to listen to your users and be open to trying new things. Parenting is a marathon, not a sprint, so take your time and enjoy the journey.
