TAMPA — The Natural Nipple, a Tampa firm that created a line of bottles to help nursing mothers overcome latching problems while breastfeeding their babies, is one of just five companies to win a spot in The Brandery, a Cincinnati-based business accelerator that invests in high-growth startups.

According to a press release, The Natural Nipple — founded by Lauren Wright and Tram Pham — will relocate to Cincinnati for 12 weeks to participate in the program. While in Ohio, representatives from the five companies will meet with more than 100 mentors and supporters. The program culminates with a Demo Day Dec. 18 that will see them make pitches to investors and other entrepreneurs.
