Milk Stork is the first breast milk shipping and lactation logistics company, helping breastfeeding parents who travel for work or return to the office ship pumped milk home in pre-paid, refrigerated and shelf-stable kits. Offered as an employer benefit by hundreds of companies including Pinterest, Capital One, SpaceX and Nissan, it has shipped tens of thousands of kits across more than 100 countries.
Kate Torgersen is the founder and CEO of Milk Stork, the world's first breast milk shipping service for traveling professionals. After lugging 26 pounds of milk home from a business trip while nursing infant twins, she co-invested $25,000 with her father and built a logistics platform now serving 850+ companies, having shipped more than 7.5 million ounces of breast milk across 112 countries. A former 18-year Clif Bar communications executive with an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute, Kate turned a deeply personal frustration into a category-defining company backed by Backstage Capital and named to Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies list.
