Perfect for you if...

  • You're building or thinking about starting a business and already have children, or plan to start a family soon.
  • You want practical advice on taxes, maternity leave, and contracts rather than motivational platitudes.
  • You're looking for honest stories from designers, CEOs, farmers, and artists who've actually done both things at once.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You're looking for a parenting manual or childcare advice rather than business and entrepreneurship guidance.
  • You prefer a single narrative arc or memoir to an anthology of multiple voices.
  • You're seeking traditional career advice and don't specifically care about the motherhood angle.

About this book

Mother / Founder profiles more than sixty women who balance motherhood with entrepreneurship. The book explores how starting a business and starting a family can coexist, presenting entrepreneurship as a sustainable and fulfilling model for working mothers. Each woman shares insights from her journey along with practical advice on topics including maternity leave planning, sharing financial information with peers, contract drafting, involving children in work, building support systems through advisory boards and nanny shares, securing grants and fellowships, freelance tax preparation, and managing "mom guilt." The profiles span diverse professions: designers, makers, CE Os, farmers, pastry chefs, artists, lawyers, and educators. The book presents first-person accounts that address the unique challenges and rewards of launching and running a business while maintaining dedication to raising children.
