Dan Solomon ’85, CEO & Co-Founder of Parent Ready, Helps Employers Support Working Parents
Often, the early years are cited as the most crucial and stressful time for parents: late-night feedings, first steps, and helping children learn their ABCs. The list is long.
Minnesota Law alum Dan Solomon ’85, however, is on a mission to provide support for parents of teens and adolescents and their employers too. He sees this age as a time when children’s self-sufficiency emerges, but their needs are very much still in play.
“As a dad of two 20-year-olds, I noticed that parents of adolescents and young adults lacked guidance,” he says. “You have so many challenges and not nearly enough support.”
That is why, in 2022, he co-founded Parent Ready, a company that focuses on helping employers, healthcare providers, and educational institutions help parents navigate the milestones, challenges, and passions of their adolescent and young adult kids. Solomon, an Emmy Award winner and three-time CEO of an Inc. 5000 company, says it’s important for both parents and the companies they work for to understand the needs of this age group.
