“Iza is someone we have admired onscreen even before we got to meet her and Ben. It really is a meeting of the minds and hearts. We really wanted a brand ambassador that represented authentic parenting but was also very relatable and someone who we felt aligned with our values as parents as well as founders of the startup,” Bela continued.

“edamama was really borne out of a personal pain point that we experienced as parents. If you look at the stats, having a baby is a time where you really seek out a lot of advice, a lot of community help and of course, you’re seeking for the best products and services for your babybut that all experience online has been fragmented. We saw the stats on global e-commerce and Philippines is today the fastest growing e-commerce market globally. So we felt that in terms of time and money spent on line, moms are really powerful consumers but were highly underserved. And we experienced this because we’re parents ourselves,” Bela shared.
