Why We Started CooCoo?
Thank you mamas & papas for dropping by!
CooCoo exists because of my daughter...
This is our story...
Dr Amy Shang
CEO & Co-Founder
I was really busy at work when my daughter was born..
after completing my PhD in Engineering
@ Cambridge, I was working at Tesla...

But as a new mama, I had so many questions...
1 what do you do when she screams in pubic?
2 potty training ??

I had to google what to do about tantrums at 2 am... after she's asleep & when I finish my work...
I tried to follow what I read online but it did't work...
it was exhausting...

So I had a coffee with my friend Jeanne...
who studied Early Childhood Education @Oxford & PhD @HKU

Jeanne told me...
we need to acknowledge her emotions first if she screams in public......
and story is a powerful tool for parenting...
Through stories...my girl understood what is "ANGRY" ...
& to breathe in & out like the princess in the story...

I was so happy about her progress, so I shared the booklist with my friend Emily - a mama of 3 ...
who had the same problem!
... her kids loved the books about emotions...& started to fall in love with storytime...

so I thought why not share with more mamas & papas?! ...luckily, Jeanne & Emily loved my crazy idea..
So 3 of us started regular coffee dates...library dates...& CooCoo was born!

Fast forward to today, thousands of mamas & papas are using our service...
And we've received funding & award from HKU &
HK science & technology park

& I welcomed my second recently...
totally understand the sleepless nights
new mamas & papas are going through...

So glad that we could support more parents through CooCoo!
