Why Sprout
Our Founder
Meet Suzanne. She’s on a crusade to make it easier for parents to create a healthy, beautiful home for their children. Previously a Senior Equity Research Analyst focusing on the Green Living Consumer Sector at ThinkEquity, a San Francisco based investment bank, Suzanne spent years studying organic consumer products and learning about the impact of toxic chemicals on our bodies. Thinking about starting a family in the midst of this research was, to say the least, quite intimidating. She quickly realized that there was no one place where she could shop that carried all natural baby products and employed knowledgeable sales people. Thus, Sprout was born. Sprout houses safe, healthy, and adorable baby products all under one roof, each being individually stamped with Suzanne’s seal of approval. Everyday Suzanne is inspired by her daughters Hannah and Amber to keep up-to-date on child safety and chemical research, making it easy for new parents to provide healthy environments for all of their children.
