OUR STORY

Made by a dad,
for dads.

Hi, I'm Cem. I built Papa while my wife Yekbun was pregnant with our first son, Levi.

We're an expat couple in the Netherlands. Our first pregnancy was an incredible ride — and also a confusing one. The Dutch system is brilliant, but nobody tells you how it works. Every app out there spoke to mothers. None of them spoke to first-time dads trying to figure out kraamzorg, geboorteverlof, and what the hell a combinatietest is.

I made Papa because I wished I'd had it myself.

Made with love in Amsterdam. — Cem, Yekbun & Levi
