As a new mom, I struggled to find a supportive community. Despite living in a bustling city, I felt alone, overwhelmed, and unsure of where to turn for connection. Navigating postpartum depression made this even harder, a journey I now share on LinkedIn to connect with other parents facing similar challenges. I wanted my children to make friends, but I also craved genuine relationships with other parents who shared my experiences beyond just having kids.
During my maternity leave, I realized many parents felt the same way—a desire for meaningful connections but no easy way to make them happen. I created BeeKyn to be the solution I was looking for: a platform that brings parents together for playdates both kids and parents enjoy, with personalized matches, easy scheduling, and a community designed to make playdates simple, fun, and fulfilling.
