Sally Bunkham founded her online retail 1 business nearly two years ago after the birth of her second child. To begin with, she says, she didn't mind being labelled a mumpreneur. "But as I've gone through my business journey I've realised that it's a bit patronising," because it implies it's "someone with a little hobby". She's not alone: A survey of 500 female business founders 2 showed that nearly two thirds of them regarded mumpreneur as a "negative" term.
