The Team

The people building Doola with care and technical depth.

Doola is intentionally small right now: product intuition, medical-design sensitivity, and startup-scale engineering sitting close together. That makes the work faster, quieter, and more accountable.

25+ years

combined founder and startup experience

30M+

Privacy-first

product decisions shaped around trust

Why this team is building Doola

Pregnancy safety needs calm design and careful systems.

Doola sits at the intersection of pregnancy decision support, product design, and AI systems. Melody's medical design background shapes how Doola explains sensitive pregnancy questions without fearmongering, while Demin's engineering background supports privacy-first, scalable AI experiences. The product is built to be educational, source-linked, and clear about its limits.
