Hi all - One of my best friends is interested in starting an early learning/educational toy company. She graduated from Stanford in '09 and worked at several start ups before attending Business School at NYU, where she is now. Her husband is in the PhD program at MIT, studying language. I say all this because I think she actually has a chance of making this work and her background supports that.
Throughout my pregnancy she mailed me several articles on infant development. To be honest, I was already aware of most of them, but she has an interest in making effective toys and materials for children.
She sent me a quick survey to fill out and share with other parents of children 0-3. If you want to help her out, the link is below. It takes less than 5 minutes to fill out.
