A few months after my first kid was born, I realized something: Startups aren t built for dads. Long hours. Late-night Slack messages. Unspoken expectations that your personal life takes a backseat. Everyone says they support work-life balance, but the second you mention paternity leave or needing to log off early for a doctor s appointment, you feel the shift. You re a burden. I watched coworkers avoid talking about their kids, pretend they weren t exhausted, and quietly trade their family time for just one more hour of work. Because in early-stage startups, if you re not available 24/7, you re falling behind. That s broken. So I m building Dadsperate Measures - a business that helps dads stop feeling like they have to choose between being present at home and succeeding at work. What We re Doing We run workshops for companies to help working dads: Set boundaries without getting sidelined Manage time so they can leave work at work Avoid burnout and be fully present at home If you want to follow along as I test and grow this, I m sharing everything. Wins, failures, experiments - nothing off limits. BTW, we ve got a resource where I break it all down. If you re a founder, startup operator, or just a dad trying to figure this all out, you ll like it. https://dadsperate-measures.beeh... Would love to hear from other entrepreneur dads - how do you balance building a business with being present at home?
