HeyMamaReviews of heymama.co

Where do I start. In order to join Heymama.co you have to complete an application and wait for "acceptance". You have to choose a membership before you even know what you are signing up for. No where on their FAQs does it say that you have to sign up for a year long membership. I signed up in Los Angeles hoping to meet other local moms. Their dashboard is just a bunch of women advertising services. THERE ARE NO LA EVENTS. I emailed them stating I wanted to cancel and they told me no. I responded, " I would advise you to cancel my account". Then they responded, "we have cancelled your account and tried to charge me $75. The owner of this company needs to get sued. She is bamboozling people out of $465 to fund a virtual marketplace of women entrepreneurs.

It started so strong with amazing content and quickly spiraled into an online board of everyone posting for people to try or buy their product. Monthly meetings were sold out, and in-person meetings were not approved, even after it took two months to track down local people. I just haven't seen a return on my investment. Most posts only get admin comments vs reach. I absolutely love the concept and LOVE LOVE LOVE your matchmaking. The rest just doesn't pay off.

Great experience with the whole HeyMama Family. Happy to be a part of this growing community of inspirational women!

Most content feels too self-promotional and dominated by certain members (coaching!) vs helpful and constructive networking

I like to interact with my fellow Mama's, may it be asking for advice, a concern, our virtual meeting, the atmosphere is just great.

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.

They renewed my membership (after a year) with absolutely zero emails stating "your membership is renewing!" or notice. When I am renewing others' charges, they get a notice saying they'll be charged and when. Especially after a year, a warning is a business practice that tells your customers you stand by your product and don't have to sneak a $350 charge that they don't remember. Then, when I asked for a refund, they refunded all but $75. Why keep the $75? And no one responded to my email.

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.
