“I’m thrilled to announce Unilever Ventures as our newest investment partner. The collaboration will bring their unparalleled global expertise and resources, at such an exciting time for Luna Daily’s growth. This collaboration feels incredibly organic, as we have been in conversations with Unilever Ventures since the inception of Luna Daily. Their support of our vision to cater to all ages and stages of womanhood, including our newest category of motherhood, made this the perfect time to begin our partnership,” said Luna Daily founder, Katy Cottam.
