Project Description

We've launched the parent content.

Now we need your help.

Help us fund Phase 2 and 3 of Development

 

 

Motherboards are...

  • Bright

  • Easy-to-Read

  • Evidence-Based

  • Concise

  • Preferences at-a-glance

 

OUR SOFTWARE

 

THE MARKET

There are 4 million births every year in the US alone:  A vast, renewable market.  Financially, the market is huge.  Insurance pays out an estimated $100 billion per year for maternity care.

 

Phase 2 Development

Next, we are building software tools for providers, educators, and hospitals to better serve their clients and communities.  This creates a diverse network of people using Motherboard.  Providers and educators will be able to:

  • Pull up a patient's Motherboard when they check in in labor
  • View and collaborate on their board prenatally
  • Send appointment reminders and practice/hospital-specific info directly to their clients
  • Improve workflow and streamline informed consent via the wealth of resources and info we provide

 

MARKET SEGMENTS

 

FUNDS NEEDED

Your vital contribution will pay for:

  • Prototyping
  • Development costs - Phase 2 of development focuses on bringing care providers into the communication process by building tools such as messaging, content accessibility on Labor & Delivery Units, and being able to bring up your Motherboard when you check-in in labor.
  • Hosting and other web fees
  • Legal support
  • Outreach to hospitals
  • Tech support and bug fixes
  • Content creation and review (to ensure that our information is up-to-date)

 

OUR AMAZING TEAM

THANK YOU

We believe that doula work, childbirth education, and "birth plans" only get you halfway.  If we don't bring care providers and teams into the process of communication, none of this matters. 

Your contribution allows us to partner with care teams, building new software so they can serve families better.

The Campaign FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • What is the timeline for Motherboard?
    Nov 5, 2018 : Parent content is launched, whoo hoo!
    Nov, 2018:  Run IFW Campaign, ship all goods
    Nov - Dec, 2018:  Gather feedback, work on business to business strategy (hospitals, care providers, affiliate program)
    Dec - Feb, 2019:  Raise funds to build Phase 2 development (integrations for hospitals and providers)
  • When will I get my reward?
    Physical goods are in stock and will be shipped ASAP.  Items requiring some development work (or temporary work-arounds) like the Affiliate Program (bulk memberships) may take a couple months.
  • I ordered the wrong size shirt, what do I do?
    You are responsible for shipping the shirt back to us, but if we have your preferred size in stock we will ship you a new one.
  • Do you ship outside the US?
    Sorry, not at this time!  However any of the memberships or downloads are perfect for overseas contributors.
  • How do the Educator Packs work?
    Your contribution covers all the materials listed and a 5 year license to use the pdfs, handouts, illustrations, etc.  You are required to sign a contract outlining the terms of use of the materials.  You may not remove our branding from the images or materials or "white label" them.
  • What kinds of things are your developers building next?
    Great question!  We are building dashboards for providers and hospitals to be able to securely message their patients, add their $.02 to our content, and bring up a family's Motherboard at the hospital when they check in in labor.  Provider buy-in is incredibly important to lasting, meaningful change.
  • What are your revenue streams?
    Free content - All the birth topics will always be 100% accessible to everyone
    Parents - $15/year membership to use our software and create a Motherboard
    Educators - Licenses for Educator Bundles, Affiliate Program (cost varies by use)
    Providers - Phase 2 will build a dashboard for them to better communicate with their patients and view their preferences prenatally and during their birth
    Hospitals - Ability to bring up a family's Motherboard when they check in in labor.  Integrating our information on the floor to help families make decisions.
    Insurance Companies - Integrate into their client portals to give them access to Motherboard's content
