Bottimals Wins Third Pitch Competition at Code & Coffee Philadelphia

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news — Bottimals has officially won its third pitch competition, this time at Code & Coffee Philadelphia! Competing against 13 incredibly innovative and smart entrepreneurs, it was truly humbling to see so many creative ideas in one room. But somehow, Bottimals came out on top.

So, what sets Bottimals apart?

Solving a Real Problem with Compassion

At the heart of Bottimals is a challenge that many parents know all too well: bottle refusal. As a mom who experienced this firsthand, I founded Bottimals with a simple mission — to help families navigate the sometimes chaotic transition from breast to bottle. Our bottle-lovey brings comfort, familiarity, and a little bit of magic to feeding time.

Parent-Approved Testimonials

Nothing speaks louder than the voices of families who have tried the product. From parents sharing that their babies finally accepted the bottle to caregivers noting the calmer feeding times, the testimonials speak volumes about how Bottimals makes a difference in everyday life. Check out our customer stories here for real-life experiences.

A Story Told with Laughter

Pitch competitions are about more than just the product — they’re about the story. At Code & Coffee, I shared how the internet is full of “solutions” to bottle refusal — many of which are comically ineffective — and how Bottimals combines empathy, humor, and smart design to solve a real parenting problem. Humor isn’t just entertaining; it helps parents feel seen and understood.

Why This Win Matters

Winning for the third time reinforces that Bottimals is more than just a product — it’s a movement to help parents navigate early parenthood with a little less stress and a lot more support. Each win also brings us closer to sharing the bottle-lovey with families nationwide.

We’re incredibly grateful to the Code & Coffee Philadelphia team for hosting such an inspiring event, and to all the other innovators who continue to push boundaries in parenting and baby care solutions.
