Who is a ParentPreneur?

When becoming a parent, one’s view of the world and one’s own (work) life changes. It is no coincidence that after having children, many people think about starting their own business for the first time. We are the network for parents who want to make it happen.

You have a business idea? You have children? – Then this can be the beginning of another life-changing journey.

Parental leave is Start-Up Leave.

We believe that parents can change the world for the better – by creating value-driven businesses that solve real life problems and by building organizations that allow individuals to thrive.

The startup-ecosystem is still primarily tailored to people without children. It’s high time to change that! Parents think future before exit and are a key driver for the urgently needed change. We support them in unfolding their full potential.

“For me, being self-employed is just right, and even more so since the birth of my daughter. I love the freedom and flexibility I have and the family time I take for myself!”

“Working with Franzi was a game changer: together, we sharpened my positioning and developed a social media roadmap that can be integrated into my busy everyday life. The motivating commitment was particularly valuable to me – it gave me exactly the drive I needed to tackle my visibility with enthusiasm and perseverance.
I am really looking forward to the start of the community activities. As a father and founder, I know how rare and valuable a space is where entrepreneurship and fatherhood are equally valued. I highly recommend it!”

“My sessions with Franzi were packed with lots of valuable insights for me. I was particularly impressed by how quickly we were able to develop a roadmap and initial implementation steps for what I felt was still a rather vague business idea, thanks to Franzi's structured approach and clear framework. A big thank you for that.”

“It is precisely these kinds of initiatives that are lacking here – it's great that ParentPreneurs exists!”

“I came with the question of what first steps are necessary to follow my calling and become self-employed, and I experienced a very beneficial collaboration with Franzi. She always contributes exactly the right knowledge and has sensitively guided me to stay on topic and really go into depth.”
