The author, a tech professional and single mom, discovers that parenting and running a startup have similar challenges, notably the need for patience, adaptability, and working with incomplete information. In response to the struggle of managing her personal and professional life, she created a family management app aimed at reducing the mental load parents face. Both parenting and startups benefit from structure, which fosters predictability and allows for greater creativity and innovation while avoiding chaos.
I've come to see structure not as a constraint but as a tool for empowerment. The more predictable the foundation, the more freedom you have to innovate and respond to challenges.
Both require patience, adaptability and the ability to function under extreme uncertainty. Both demand that you make decisions with incomplete data, trust your instincts and learn from constant failures.
