Jill Salzman – Founding Moms

This Oak Park mom is the mother of all momtrepreneurs. Really! Through her own struggles balancing parenthood and having two businesses she was inspired to start Founding Moms. Her company organizes meet-ups where local mom business owners connect and swap information as well as educate and support each other. Today, there are Founding Moms meet-ups in 40 cities and nine countries -- with 8,000 members strong. In July, this invaluable support system will be going online to give aspiring momtrepreneurs around the world access to words of wisdom form their fellow moms in business. When Jill isn't helping her fellow moms, she's hanging out with her two little rocker chicks, ages 7 and 5. They love catching up on episodes of Master Chef Junior, jamming in their band Cat’s Pajamas, and busting a move during dance parties.
