Starting a business with kids: mompreneurs balance work and family life

Women run start-ups differently than men – especially mothers. Known as mompreneurs, they account for one in six start-ups in Germany and set very own accents. Balancing work and family life is crucial to mompreneurs in every way. Many start a business primarily to manage their time more flexibly, but others put their plans on ice out of concern they could put a strain on family life. But many mompreneurs manage this balancing act. They limit their working hours and, in turn, are less likely to start their business on their own – and some definitely have growth ambitions.
