Online Network Offers Mompreneurs An Opportunity To Connect

While every entrepreneur is different, “mompreneurs” have one thing in common: children. Whether they are trying to balance their business and time for family or working from home and trying to find ways to work around their children’s needs, these are women who chose to create their own path to success while raising a family. For these amazing women the term mompreneur is synonymous with super mom.

So where do these women meet? At the Mompreneur Cafe of course. With over 280 members, this community is fast becoming the perfect place for mompreneurs everywhere to network and meet other like-minded women.

Tell us a little about Mompreneur Cafe.

Mompreneur Cafe is the newest network where the savvy moms connect! Whether you are a Mompreneur or aspire to be one, you will fit right in! Here, you can make a name for yourself and connect with other like-minded moms. Join a group, start a group, blog, post your favorite photos & videos, chat with other Cafe members and more!

Mompreneur Café currently has 280+ members including business owners and bloggers from around the world connecting around everything from business to parenting to everything in between.

What inspired you to create a social network for mom entrepreneurs?

My inspiration behind Mompreneur Cafe was two-fold. I have a strong passion for entrepreneurship and I am inspired by parents that juggle entrepreneurship and parenting. I saw a need for a community where women in business could get their names out there, gain added exposure for their business ventures as well as network with other like-minded women. Everyone is always looking for a go-to place to connect with others in similar situations as themselves. Therefore, the members of Mompreneur Cafe can network around everything from advertising and marketing, general business and work-life balance to parenting, recipes and soap operas (as if there is lots of free time for soap operas!).

What separates you from the competition?

There are a few things that make us different from the competition. However, I would say the most notable item is the Featured Mompreneur section. As a member of Mompreneur Café, not only are you able to connect with like-minded woman around everything from business to parenting to everything in between, you also are able to gain added exposure for your business. The Featured Mompreneur section was designed to highlight a different woman in business each week or so; enabling all Mompreneur Café visitors to get to know the individual and various business ventures.

From how many countries do you currently have mompreneurs logging in from?

We currently have members spanning eight (8) countries including USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore and Spain. So, we truly are connecting women all over the world.

How often do you feature a new mompreneur? How might someone be considered?

The goal is to feature a new mompreneur each week. I give equal consideration to each and every member of Mompreneur Café for the Featured section. The hope is to eventually be able to feature each member!

Although you have only just launched in early May, what has your community growth been like?

To date, Mompreneur Café has 284 members from around the world. Within one week after launch date (May 7th), I also opened a Twitter account and a Mompreneur Café page on Facebook. As such, we currently have 2,695 followers on Twitter and 54 fans on Facebook. The growth of Mompreneur Café has been better than I could have imagined and I look forward to sustaining the growth going forward.
In what ways has your network evolved over that short period of time?

As noted above, in the two months since launch, we have grown to 284 members spanning eight countries. Currently, Mompreneur Café has 21 groups (including local groups, Etsy Lovin, IgglyBigglySuccessTeam, Healthy Lifestyle Mompreneurs, Twitter Mompreneurs, Life Coaching, Direct Selling Moms, Living Green, Contests/Giveaways, etc.), 237 photos, 68 blog posts and 64 discussions.

What goals would you like to accomplish before you reach your first anniversary?

I would like to surpass the 1000 member mark as well as gain exposure for as many women in business as possible. Mompreneur Café is growing and evolving each day. I am on a continuous learning curve due to all of the inspiring stories and people that I have had the opportunity to network with via the Mompreneur Café community. Within the next year, I not only want to continue to experience the incredible growth that we have thus far but continue to evolve and empower more women in business each day.

Give us a short pitch on why a mompreneur should join your network.

Mompreneur Café would not be where it is without the amazing community members. The Café members come from such varied backgrounds and experiences that inevitably everyone that would network with them would have something to gain. Mompreneur Café hosts a plethora of information, inspiration, motivation, business relationships and potential friendships. Who wouldn’t want to be a part of something like that?
