Ice Breakers

Ice Breakers with Mili Kale

February 14, 2023

Mili Kale is the co-founder of Moom Health, a wellness startup dedicated to creating natural remedies for the modern Asian woman.

Moom Health currently operates in Singapore and Malaysia and ultimately strives to be the go-to, trusted source for products and education in the world of women's health supplements!

👋🏼 How would you explain your job to someone outside tech?

I am the co-founder of Moom Health. We create natural remedies for the modern Asian woman in the form of expert-backed supplements!

🧐 What's something about you or your job that would surprise us?

I co-founded my company with my younger sister, and we have actually strengthened our bond and relationship (instead of killing each other, haha)!

🏆 What has been the biggest highlight of your career so far?

Ooh there have been so many, especially with Moom. I think one of the biggest ones was our first year anniversary! We celebrated by taking over a cafe in Singapore and the outpour of love and community was truly amazing!

Other highlights have been hiring a team (who I know I can't imagine growing Moom without), raising our seed round and expanding to Malaysia — all in a span of 1.5 years!!

🔍 What's a startup trend or space you're watching this year?

Wellness — specifically, the integration of food and wellness!

I think functional foods and drinks — moving ever further away from processed foods and alcoholic beverages! The non-alc movement is going to thrive in the next few years, and I'm excited to see that!

💼 What advice would you give someone starting out in your industry?

Just try! I'm sure everyone says this, but I believe that this is the case for any industry. Over-researching, overthinking, and over-planning all hold us back (and I have been caught in that cycle so many times).

🗣 What's one thing you can keep talking about for hours?

How to reduce stress levels (despite being able to talk about it, I still really need to work on mine)!

🎥 What's your favorite movie/TV show?

I don't know if this is my favorite, but the TV show I have been most dedicated to is Grey's Anatomy. 19 seasons later, and I'm still anxiously waiting for the next episode! More recently though, I absolutely loved The Bear!

🍨 What's your go-to ice cream flavor?

Mint Chocolate Chip! The more toothpaste-y the better!
