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.

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.

No local events in atlanta area to network

Having to agree to 6 months of membership at a time is ridiculous. When I asked them to please cancel as I was using none of the resources, they are not relevant to someone in my region as there are no meet-ups or talks near me. I was told it was not possible and they would continue to charge me. The resources may be helpful for those in cities with hubs but if you are not near one of those cities it has little value.

A HUGE Disappointment I really wanted to like this organization and engage with the members. However, after about 6 months of trying, I realized it wasn't for me. Sadly, you are locked into a 12 month contract with no exit. This finds the organization with people in it who are angry and dont engage because they dont want to be part of the organization. Holding members hostage to boost their numbers isn't an effective membership strategy. When I approached leadership about leaving, I was told there was no wiggle room to leave. They are a money grab. I would recommend spending your valuable dollars elsewhere.

I signed up not realizing that this is a paid membership. I asked to be unsubscribed and couldn't for far too long. I got nothing out of this and was quite frankly really pissed that I had to continue. They need to fix this issue instead of getting rich off people.
