MiaMily HIPSTER™ Makes International Splash on Kickstarter; Swiss parents launches startup MiaMily, hitting success in 6 days with hit hip baby carrier, HIPSTER™
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) August 18, 2014 -- Los Angeles, CA/ Lugano, Switzerland— In late July, Swiss startup MiaMily launched HIPSTER™ hip baby carrier on Kickstarter.com, with the target goal of achieving $25,000 worth of pledges and backers in 30 days. Three weeks later, HIPSTER™ makes a splash with parents around the world, making Kickstarter’s Staff Pick in less than 24 hours upon launch, hitting its target in a record 6 days. Just last week, MiaMily surpassed its NEW stretch goal of $50,000 and will be giving away “HIPSTER™ onesies” to all its backers in addition to all the other goodies offered in the Kickstarter campaign. With 2 days left, HIPSTER™ has made 245% of its target (at $61,000+ at press time) and shows up as one of the top 3 projects amongst 9000+ other Design Kickstarter projects.
Frustrated with current baby carriers available, Cecilia Tsai and Alessandro Cereda, Co-Founders of MiaMily, wanted to combine assets of different baby carriers into one product that suits their needs as parents, thus coming up with HIPSTER™. Looking to help fund their first production, the co-founders and their marketing team decided that Kickstarter was the best platform to launch, which proved to be a fruitful decision, but humbly admit they did not expect to hit success in such a short amount of time.
“I am ecstatic that HIPSTER™ can now be available to many other parents! Holding a baby takes a toll on your body, and from pinching a nerve on my back, I personally know that there is no worse feeling than not being able to hold your own crying baby. With HIPSTER™, parents can hold their baby in 9 different ways, while minimizing sore backs and achy arms!” explains Co-Founder Cecilia Tsai, mother of 1-year-old Mia Cereda. After the Kickstarter campaign ends, the co-founders also wish to launch “Change the World, One Baby at a Time” campaign, donating one can of formula milk for every HIPSTER™ sold.
With a secondary stretch goal of $125,000 which will allow backers to add 2 additional HIPSTER™ colors, parents and friends who are looking for great gifts can still get a huge discount on this popular baby carrier until August 20th on Kickstarter. HIPSTER™ is set to launch officially at http://www.miamily.com in September 2014.
