Launching a New Business in the Midst of a Maternity Leave

Side Hustle to Small Business Podcast

When Dominique Elkind became a mother, she noticed a lack of third spaces available to parents of very young children.

Not only is Nixi City a space for children, but includes a cafe for parents to meet and connect.
