Jam in the Press
Jam was built by two sisters on a simple conviction: the mental load of modern family life is real, it’s carried unevenly, and it doesn’t have to be. That idea has traveled well beyond our app — into the pages of Fast Company, PureWow, and Motherly, onto KTLA, and across the Dropbox Blog, Authority Magazine, Girlboss, and Entreprenista, plus podcasts for parents and founders alike.
Below is where Jam and our co-founders, Jessica Koosed Etting and Amanda Roessler, have shown up — and the idea worth carrying home from each.
