  • Truly appreciative of the idea NOT to use plastic and your strength of integrity not to bend to investors. Thanks CNBC for another great story choice. 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
  • @MattCRHughes
    I'm not sure Lovevery will ever reach profitability, but getting the products now as a loss-leader is a good idea. Some of the highest quality stuff on the market.
  • @farzadjahanfard
    My entire family and 2 generations back if they were alive worth maybe 20k 😂😂😂 2 mill from family and friends is miracle
  • @btimec5290
    ugh i hope they don't corrupt their values by integrating tech into their products. They must be getting pressure to do so from investors. Love this company- I hope they remain true to what they value.
  • @thenation2093
    All it takes is an idea, a dream, and a LOT of startup money…😅
  • @crumbsnyums
    I remember seeing Lovevery when looking for Montessori programs for my son. The pandemic created a lot of new parent/teachers. I chose not to use this program solely because of cost. But I would consider using their phonics program. I didn't know they had that.
  • Toys for babies aren't sold to babies, toys for babies are sold to parents.
  • @holistic.health
    I love this... but something is seriously wrong if they have that many subscribers and still aren't profitable... it's no wonder their investors are not happy...
  • @SueCrolick
    This is SO COOL! Wonderful story and mission. Love it!
  • @n.g.l.
    If I buy this I’m carefully putting this away after the child is done 😂. By the grace of God this’ll last generations
  • @theGaf
    Jessica is the best! Proud day 1 investor over here! 🙏
  • @MOBMJ
    I love it!! With kids these days getting smarter and smarter, I think more and more about things like this. I really believe that the simple things really effect a Childs development. As simple as like, If you kid is carefully climbing on furniture for example. You need to let then figure it out. it ticks there inspirational mindset, you need yo let them figure it out along the way. That gives them the drive and the inspiration to keep going.

    Really riding the line of blatant advertisement with this one.
  • @M2a3i
    Congratulations! 🎉 awesome accomplishment
  • @dip5635
    We need the story of what a fast food worker or other average earner makes and how they get by. Show the real stories.
  • @jepoyburner
    How are you not profitable at 226 million annual revenue... You're a toy company.
