Jen Saxton is the founder and CEO of Tot Squad, a marketplace that connects new and expecting parents with health, wellness and safety services like car seat installation, sleep consulting, babyproofing, and lactation consulting.
She's an alumna of Duke, has a Kellogg MBA and is a serial entrepreneur having sold her first business in 2020 and was part of the 2020 Techstars Anywhere accelerator.
But above all, Jen is the mom of Charlotte and Sophie, aged 7 months and 3 years.
In this episode, Jen and I chat about...
- Selling her business in March 2020 (literally when the Pandemic was beginning)
- Her vision and drive for starting a business centered around family and work-life balance and how she launched a baby company out of business school before she had kids or even was married
- Her "infants at work" policy she implemented pre-kids
- She didn’t take a break after selling her company (10 years) and dove into something new, joined an Accelerator and became pregnant with her second kid
- What “maternity leave” the second time looked like and her fun out of office response
- How she kept her boundaries within the company while on leave
- How she implements the Fair Play system at home to create boundaries, manage her relationship, and replenish herself
- Advice for founders on when to leave their “day job”
