The Pepperlane team is a group of women who are leaders, entrepreneurs and mothers.
It's International Women's Day and for Pepperlane, it's another day to celebrate our members who are building businesses for themselves but not by themselves inside Pepperlane's thriving small business community for mothers.
Hear Sharon Kan, Pepperlane's CEO and Gail Goodman, Pepperlane's Co Founder and former CEO of Constant Contact, discuss why 20 million moms could transform the U.S. economy and add $100 Billion, in this powerful video.
My peers are often surprised when I say I want kids. But I’ve always known I wanted a family. I’ve also always had dreams of starting my own business. People don’t always associate being a high functioning business owner with driving a minivan to soccer games. Before this summer I didn’t either. Moreover, as a young queer person, my path to motherhood has never been clearly mapped out. A white picket fence definitely isn’t part of my dream. Working as an intern at Pepperlane this summer has changed my thinking. The experience has demonstrated that I can balance entrepreneurial aspirations with parenthood.
Chances are you’ve glanced at your calendar recently and been shocked at the date…how is summer racing by so quickly? Between navigating our reintroduction to social gatherings, the delight in getting kids into camps, sports, and playdates, the days pass by in a flash. Before we know it, we’ll be shopping for school supplies and signing up for fall activities…and we’ll be wishing we had grabbed a few more moments to enjoy summer.
Pepperlane helps mothers turn their skills and ideas into businesses that fit into their lives.
