A mompreneur is a mother who juggles running her own business while raising a family, often while reheating the same cup of coffee three times and answering emails with one hand while holding a baby with the other.
Mompreneurs and female founders are redefining success by balancing their passion for business with the joy of motherhood.
A legacy of progress
How we got here.Two full-time jobs, one powerful combination
Motherhood is one of life’s most beautiful journeys. Building a business is equally rewarding: a chance to pursue your passion, create financial independence and leave a lasting impact.
“Successful mothers are not the ones who have never struggled. They are the ones who never gave up despite the struggles.”
The determination, strength and passion that come with being a mom are a solid foundation for building a successful business.
