More information and opinions than ever on baby’s sleep, temperature and everything in between has become an off-putting maze which takes so long to navigate that you’re often left more perplexed and stressed than when you first started. We don’t believe it should be this way. Nobody should be left feeling alone, unsupported or confused when it comes to the way they want to look after and raise their child.

That’s why we created Dote! We exist to provide you with helpful, supportive and reassuring information on your parenting journey, from that moment you first find out you’re expecting right through to the moment you’re waving them goodbye at the school gates and beyond.

It all started with a dad, a dream, and the beautiful chaos of raising two little ones in Manchester. Stephen, our CEO and founder, knows firsthand what it’s like when parenting doesn’t go according to plan. After years of solo nights sketching ideas, iterating designs, and chasing funding, he had a vision: technology that truly understands family life. What began as one parent’s mission has grown into something extraordinary. Stephen carefully built a small but mighty team of industry experts from Dyson, Microsoft, Mattel, Tommee Tippee, Logitech, Unilever, and Owlet Care - bringing decades of expertise to every innovation you see in Dote today.

Most importantly, we’re parents ourselves. We’ve lived through the 3am worries, the juggling act of modern family life, and those unspoken moments when you wish technology just got it. We’ve felt the gap between what parents need and what’s actually available. That’s exactly why Dote exists. We’re not just building smart monitors, we’re reimagining what’s possible when innovation truly understands the heart of parenting. Every feature, every design choice, every breakthrough comes from real experience raising real families. Because the best solutions come from parents who’ve been exactly where you are.
