Thanks, I'll check it out.

We solve an huge number of extremely important problems for our users. Some things just off the top of my head:

- Find local daycares that have spaces available, which is pretty important when you need to work

- Find a nearby restroom or changing table when you need one RIGHT NOW (and when you need one, it's usually RIGHT NOW)

- Get parenting advice in real time on just about any topic

- If you're someone who doesn't fit in with traditional parenting groups (mostly moms, mostly married, etc), connect with a community of parents like you (single parents, stay home dads, etc)

- Find places where you can nurse or pump safely

- Get suggestions for things to do with your kids, because they are bored and you need to get out of the house

- Locate family-friendly restaurants and businesses when traveling

Etc. In some ways this is actually a challenge as there's no single, dead-simple value prop that we can use. But I love Winnie. We're genuinely helping people be less stressed and more successful as parents.
