Atlanta is one of two cities getting a female-focused coworking space, AtlantaFi has learned. The creative, spa-inspired workspace is being brought to the city by business accelerator Hera Hub.
The space will cater to women across several industries including high-tech, business operations, legal advisors, and tax professionals to artists, designers, educators, and creative experts.
Women’s Coworking Space Opening In Atlanta
Those that use the space can expect weekly educational seminars, intensive workshops, and one-on-one mentoring . Although the coworking space was designed by women, for women, it is open to anyone who values collaboration and community.
Another one is also opening up in Phoenix, Arizona. The Hera Hub Atlanta location will be led by Violet E. Pearson, who has lived in the city for more than 12 years.
“Atlanta is perfectly poised for the Hera Hub business model. While the city has made great inroads into creating a welcoming business environment for women entrepreneurs, there is much to be done. Our aim is to facilitate networking and collaboration among our members and to galvanize and support female-focused businesses through strategic and sustainable growth,” says Pearson.
