#101 Apolline Deroche - Cappella: Crying Babies Decoded By AI

In this episode of Products With Purpose, Eli spoke with Apolline Deroche CEO and Co-Founder of Cappella

Cappella is a company fusing care and sound technology. They're revolutionizing parenting, decoding baby cries for caregiver support and insights.

Apolline, originally from France, has been in the US for precisely two years, where she decided to establish her company. She holds a master's degree in engineering and a graduate degree from MIT's Sloan School of Management.

From a young age, Apolline was driven by a desire to make a positive impact on people's lives. Her diverse interests encompass music, technology, and psychology. And you'll most certainly often find her reading a book on early childhood development. It was these passions that led her to create Cappella, a company that not only aligns with her interests but aims to make a meaningful difference in the world.

Stay tuned because Cappella's app is set to launch at the end of 2023, and it's already generating excitement among new parents who can't wait for its release.
