GBThe onboarding process was a bit… The onboarding process was a bit confusing. There didn't seem to be any real chapter leadership. I want a local chapter that is going to have regular meetings online or in person and that wasn't the case here. Also, when I asked about in-person events I was told it was the members' responsibility to put them together. I don't have time for that nor do I want to do that. I want to join a networking group that takes care of the details and brings people together for networking! Also, the two events that I did go to were poorly run. They were shopping and exercise events -- not what I would call business networking. I did not see the value of being a member so I didn't continue with the group.

GBBest decision I made in my entreprenuerial journey Hey Mama has been life-changing for me as a busy mom and entrepreneur. I used to feel lonely, frustrated, and isolated in every entrepreneurial endeavor I encountered. At every turn, I felt like I had to "recreate the wheel" for my business - which wasn't scalable - or fun. Since joining, I've become part of an inspiring and resourceful community of driven women, mothers, and founders. We share, uplift, and help one another in a way that opens doors for all of us. The friendships and partnerships I've made have made my job so much more enjoyable and productive. If you're a that's on the fence, just join, you won't regret it.

GBGreat members and love the concept! I’ve met so many amazing women and formed some great business partnerships. I love the virtual offerings. I was really disappointed hearing about the behavior of someone on the leadership team. This organization is celebrating women and stands for lifting them up, instead of cutting them down based on physical attributes or because they do not fit that person’s ideal of what is “cool.” Every time I see that person’s name come up in the Google groups, I cringe. I just hate the idea of my money going to support something I can’t stand for. :/

GBVery little value Very little value, and you cannot cancel outside of a year membership. I tried their mentorship program thinking it would be great, and was highly disappointed. This company is boosting numbers by holding you hostage in a contract with them for a year at $35 a month. A total joke. You shouldn't have to force people to be your members. Avoid at all costs. This is not for executive women - it's a bunch of people pushing workshops and freelance work.

GBHAYVN Coworking - LOVED collaborating with HeyMama HeyMama recently hosted a fun dynamic networking event at HAYVN Coworking. Seeing HeyMama and specifically Penny Goffman, Head of Community, in action was uplifting. Penny works hard to foster a real sense of community and peer support amongst members during HeyMama events. She clearly articulated the values of the community, gave members plenty of space to share their story and express their needs and facilitated members supporting each other. HAYVN loved collaborating with HeyMama and we look forward to the next event together. Thoroughly recommend HeyMama to all working mom's out there!
