In this episode of Startup Dad, Adam Fishman sits down with Rishabh Jain, the CEO of FERMÀT Commerce, a company he launched when his oldest daughter was just a few weeks old. He’s also a husband and father of two kids under the age of four.

In this conversation, Rishabh shares why he believes parenthood actually makes entrepreneurship easier, how he manages family life alongside scaling startups, and the frameworks that help him stay focused and balanced. We discussed:

  • Starting a company as a parent: Why Rishabh believes kids force you to prioritize what really matters.
  • Advice to colleagues: Why he seriously tells stressed-out founders to “have kids” and how it improves their work.
  • Family as an anchor: How a strong marriage allows him to take big risks in his professional life.
  • Balance through kids: How playing, creating, and connecting at home helps him show up sharper at work.
  • Technology in parenting: Using AI and voice assistants to answer kids’ questions and prepare them for a tech-driven world.
