Company Summary

New and expecting parents spend more than $5,000 on baby products they know nothing about, and they are desperate for trusted advice from in-the-trenches parents. weeSpring is an online community, built off your existing social networks, that allows parents to share advice with their friends about baby essentials. We also provide invaluable consumer insights and analytics to brands that have little direct engagement with their consumer.
