Swati Vauthrin on Wings Podcast: Why Parenting Deserves Its Own Platform
Recess co-founder and CEO Swati Vauthrin recently joined Melinda Wittstock on the Wings of Inspired Business podcast to share the story behind Recess and how motherhood reshaped her career, her priorities, and her mission.
With a background leading engineering teams at global tech companies, Swati did not set out to build just another app. She set out to solve a real problem: parenting today feels fragmented, noisy, and transactional. Families deserve something better.
On the episode, Swati talks about:
- Why parenting needs a purpose-built platform, not a generic social feed
- How trust and real community matter more than algorithms
- Why recommerce for kids' gear should feel human, local, and story-driven
Recess was built on the belief that parenting works better when it is connected, when advice, community, and buying and selling all live in one trusted space.
