Milkify is a GMP-certified breast milk freeze-drying service based in the United States. Founded in 2019 by Berkley Luck and Pedro Silva, the brand specializes in converting breast milk into freeze-dried powder through a process called sublimation.
This freeze-drying process preserves the nutritional qualities of breast milk, resulting in a shelf-stable powder with a shelf life of approximately three years. The process involves placing frozen milk in SafeDry Lyophilization pouches, which then undergo ultra-low freezing, deep vacuum, and sublimation.
In their Shark Tank pitch, Berkley and Pedro sought $400,000 for 10% equity, valuing their company at $4 million.

She conceived the business idea after completing her Ph.D. in Molecular and Biomedical Science from Baylor College of Medicine and briefly worked at Solari Bio. Milkify was officially launched in February 2019, providing a service that converts nursing mothers’ breast milk into powder.

What Happened To Milkify After Shark Tank?
Milkify secured funding from Shark Tank when Lori Greiner and Gwyneth Paltrow collectively invested $400,000 through convertible notes. Following the investment, Lori conducted a Twitter poll asking, “Moms, would you use this service to freeze-dry your breast milk?” Surprisingly, 63% of respondents said no.
Currently, Milkify has connected with over 3,000 clients from various cities across the United States. Revenue information for this year is not yet available. Co-founders Berkley Luck and Pedro Silva provided insights into the company’s performance and highlighted their returning customers during their pitch on Shark Tank.
