"We created this app out of necessity," said Priya Rajendran, CEO, and Co-Founder of S'moresUp, and single working mom of a teenager. "Silicon Valley has been using and perfecting these tools for years but when I was looking for a similar tool to manage my family, I couldn't find one. So we built one trying to solve the problems I was seeing in my household, and are now perfecting it using the feedback from our users who are parents."
