What is The Mompreneur Lab?
The Mompreneur Lab is a 4-week signature program combining the power of a live learning course online, with personalized one-on-one and group coaching calls, rolled into one specially-designed experience for mompreneurs.
You’ll receive in-depth mentoring from Janice Villanueva, a multi awarded entrepreneur for more than 20 years and Founder and CEO of Mompreneurs Together and Mommy Mundo, a pioneer in the Philippine parenting community
This exclusive learning program aims to develop business skills, as well as provide tools to promote self-growth as a businesswoman and a parent.
The Mompreneur Lab offers a holistic approach on how to run a successful business while staying active in your season of motherhood.
It covers a full scale of classes and mentorship sessions on:
Social responsibility
Personal development
By the end of the 4-week program, the Mompreneur Lab becomes your network and support group. It is where you can gain honest feedback and time-tested business knowledge from experts, and successful entrepreneurs, plus gain a support group of like-minded women.
Our goal is to help mothers establish and scale their businesses forward while staying true to their multi-faceted calling as moms.
How TML Started:
By Janice Villanueva
In 2019, I launched the first Mompreneur Lab program as a culmination of my 20 years as a mom entrepreneur and advocate of parenting and mompreneurship.
A select group of 20 super creative women, all active mompreneurs, joined me and partner business experts through a carefully designed program, and they came out of it inspired, more self-aware, more determined and focused on reaching their business goals, also with 19 other sisters to journey along with.
Yes, we moms are already known for our superhuman abilities in multi-tasking, wanting the best for our families, and caring for everyone, mompreneurs are an even more magnified version.
What can I say, we’ve got big dreams. We also want to be great at motherhood while achieving our business goals.
A have-our-cake-and-eat-it-too scenario CAN happen – PLUS a bit of support and resources along the way will help a lot.
Who is it for?
The Mompreneur Lab is meant for mompreneurs who are either in the startup stage of their business (0-2 years) or those with more experience running an enterprise (2 years and more).
Full-time or part-time businesswomen
Moms with a retail business (physical or digital)
Work-from-home moms
Stay-at-home moms starting/running a side gig
More experienced entrepreneurs seeking to scale

Our Impact: What Our TML Moms Say
We are grateful and delighted for the success stories and inspiring insights of our previous TML batch participants.
Check out what they have to say…
A few months ago, I decided to take a leap and get started on a business idea that I have been wanting to do from four years ago. The Mompreneur Lab came at a perfect time when we are just getting started.
We covered topics like brand positioning, money matters, corporate social responsibility, and digital marketing. All of which are very important for start-ups and growing businesses alike.
The mentorship call with Janice and group call with other mompreneurs are a treasure trove of insights and inspiration.
Overall, I am very happy that I invested in myself through The Mompreneur Lab. It allowed me to better understand the various facets of business and gave me the opportunity to network with other mompreneurs and hear their stories.
Milanie Uylangco, Stitcharoo Kids
The Mompreneur Lab became my safe space where I could share my insights, and my problems, and where I needed improvement in terms of handling our business. It made me grow into a better person and I am looking forward to more!
Ron Chua, Bichu Chickn Farm
We’re glad we pushed through with The Mompreneur Lab. It’s a family first! As an aspiring mompreneur or as a family aspiring to start a small business, I/we didn’t feel that we were left behind because it’s more of a community than a class.
Whatever you’ll invest in joining the program is definitely worth it! You’ll learn skills, you’ll get networks, and most especially you’ll get to see yourself as a mompreneur through a different light and better lens. Thank you TML!
Diah Abida-Cruz, AC Family Ministries
My experience in The Mompreneur Lab 1 and 2 has been genuinely enriching. I joined Lab 2 to gain clarity on managing multiple businesses and to adapt to the changing post-pandemic business landscape.
Janice’s mentorship has been a steady anchor, guiding me through challenges and boosting my confidence.
The guest speakers brought practical insights that reshaped my approach to entrepreneurship. This program has not only equipped me with valuable skills for handling multiple businesses but has also rekindled my passion for what I do.
It’s been a worthwhile journey, and I’m grateful for the support and knowledge gained from The Mompreneur Lab.
Gretch Lee, Tiny Winks, Keenz, and Celebrations by Che
I knew I wanted to start a business, but I didn’t know where to start as I had zero experience. I am so grateful for the TML program because it gave me the opportunity to learn from industry experts and meet a wonderful and supportive community of mompreneurs.
Myka Sigua, Beyond Measure PH
