Nest Collaborative

Nest Collaborative is a telehealth company based in Farmington, Connecticut, specializing in lactation support since its founding in 2017. The company offers virtual consultations through a network of International Board-Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs). Their services include online video consultations for breastfeeding support, personalized lactation plans, and multilingual support in nine languages. Appointments are often covered by insurance, including Medicaid, and the company collaborates with primary pediatricians and OBGYNs to ensure comprehensive care. Nest Collaborative partners with employers and insurers to promote breastfeeding, which can lead to significant cost savings. They provide direct access to expectant and new parents, including options for sliding-scale payments for those who are uninsured. The company emphasizes inclusivity and addresses healthcare disparities, ensuring high-quality care through a team of over 50 IBCLCs. With a focus on maternal-child health, Nest Collaborative has raised $10.46 million in funding to support its growth in the digital health sector.
