When Veon Brewster emigrated to the US from Jamaica at the tender age of 7, she had already discovered a passion for education, engineering and technology. That passion brought her to a career in computer science and a position at one of the largest tech firms in the world.

Then Veon became a mom — and everything changed. She was struggling with an issue that many parents face: overproduction of breast milk and the challenge of keeping track of it all. When one day, after her precious newborn experienced a fever and severe colic due to spoiled milk, Veon knew she needed to do something about it. So she used her tech and engineering background to create a solution that would alleviate this pain point for every parent — and Veba was born.
