Dublin startup Coroflo going with the flow

It’s all happening for the firm behind the first accurate breast milk flow monitor, writes Trish Dromey.

Preparing to make a live pitch to global investors at the Web Summit in Lisbon this month, Dublin startup Coroflo has just been boosted by a €900,000 funding round and a public mention from billionaire business magnate Richard Branson.

Since patenting technology in April which it says is the world’s first accurate breast milk flow monitor, the company has been busy — winning the Irish leg of the Virgin Voom pitch competition, qualifying as a regional finalist in the Intertrade Ireland Seedcorn competition and becoming one of three ESB Spark of Genius competition finalists which get to pitch at the Web Summit.
