Jennifer Mathisen’s Journey in Tech Entrepreneurship
How do you juggle a demanding job, motherhood, and a startup? Jennifer Mathisen, co-founder of the Circular Tech Startup Kidsie and an Executive Search Consultant for Acuity Partners, chats with me about her admirable life-balancing act. It’s all about finding an employer who champions flexibility, allowing her to thrive in all her roles. We delve into the fascinating intersection of Kidsie and Acuity, two companies making waves in the climate tech space, further fueling Jennifer’s enthusiasm for sustainable businesses.
But there’s more to Jennifer’s story. Did you know that 80% of products purchased for children end up in landfills? This staggering fact was a major catalyst for Jennifer’s creation of Kidsie, and we take a deep dive into the environmental impact of child-related products and how Kidsie is working to change this narrative. We also take a trip down memory lane, exploring Jennifer’s previous entrepreneurial ventures and discussing the process of building a tech business even without a technical background. It’s a conversation about balance, purpose, and making a positive impact.
Get ready to be inspired by Jennifer’s incredible journey.
