This is awesome – MIT is putting on a ‘make the breast pump not suck’ hackathon event through the Media Lab. I was just talking to someone last week about the lack of innovation in breast pumps, and that the perception is that it isn’t glamorous enough or high growth market to go after as a business and investment opportunity. One month in to pumping, I can attest to the annoyance of the many parts, the noise, having to set up/sit down/clean up (and not having enough time while pumping to do much other than FB or an email or two). Woohoo MIT!
