JustMilk is supported by the Accelerate Cambridge programme run by the Entrepreneurship Centre at Cambridge Judge Business School.
The competition involved four stages: creating an executive summary of the venture, producing a video pitch, generating a full business plan, and presenting to a panel of judges at McKinsey’s London office.
JustMilk was co-founded by PhD students Theresa Maier and Rebekah Scheuerle in late 2015, based on technology developed in the Bioscience Engineering Group of the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology at the University of Cambridge.
The JustMilk project, organised by JustMilk and a US non-profit, is developing an infant drug and nutrient delivery device with the potential to improve access to life-saving medications, vitamins and nutrients to breastfeeding infants globally. The company’s silicone nipple-shield device holds a pre-measured amount of medicines or nutrients, which is delivered safely and effectively to breastfeeding babies.
