MUM BREATHES EASY WITH INVENTION
MOTHER, primary school teacher and now a global million dollar business founder.
Brisbane entrepreneur Laura Klein is taking the baby world by storm and has big corporations in her sights.
Ms Klein was dealing with all things that come with being a mother, one of those being snotty noses, when she decided to launch a business.
The mother of three felt it was time to take a risk which led her to create the Snotty Boss, which is now selling all around the world.
“I was backed into a corner where I had to develop this product, so I jumped off the cliff and found my parachute on the way down. I scrambled and backed myself, I knew we were onto something,” Ms Klein said. “My business is like my fourth child. I worked so hard. I never went to business college, I don’t have a business degree, I have a teaching degree so it’s been making mistakes learning from that and finding my way.”
Ms Klein’s company Snotty Noses now employs five staff but has made over a million dollars in revenue and the product is selling overseas.
The Snotty Boss is a battery-powered product that helps clear all the unwanted things in the noses of babies.
“We’re on a mission to reach every single family in Australia and make it the go-to baby shower gift.”
Ms Klein got the medical approval, production and registration all together ahead of the product’s launch in March this year, a week after COVID shut down the country.
Snotty Noses has also been nominated for the AusMumpreneur Awards.
