Calla, a Galway-based start-up founded in 2019, specializes in maternal and infant care products. The company has developed a revolutionary breast pump technology that mimics an infant's natural suckling motion, promoting better infant health. Calla's vision is to become a global brand committed to advancing infant well-being.

“In August 2024, Calla received the Pre-Seed Start Fund and was also selected as a beneficiary of the Pre-Seed + programme through WestBIC. This programme, and the WestBIC team, provided invaluable support in key areas such as financial planning, fundraising, and go-to-market strategies. The support included both group sessions and personalized one-on-one meetings, tailored to our specific needs and progress.”
