WASHINGTON 鈥� In the increasingly crowded co-working space in D.C., Hera Hub sets itself apart by catering specifically to women entrepreneurs.
Hera Hub, named for the Greek goddess Hera, protector of women and wife of Zeus, has two locations in San Diego and one in Carlsbad, California. It plans other locations in Phoenix and Stockholm.
The 聽is at 5028 Wisconsin Ave., NW.
It is decidedly feminine by design.
鈥淚t has a very different vibe and feel to it, and everybody kind of notices it when they walk in. They say 鈥極h! This feels like a spa,鈥欌�� Julia Westfall, the licensed owner of Hera Hub D.C., told 海角精品黑料.
鈥淚t鈥檚 the soft colors, it鈥檚 the soft lighting and candles 鈥斅爄t is just a very different vibe and feel,” she said.
Hera Hub D.C. has all the bells and whistles co-working spaces have: desks, printers and copiers, Wi-Fi and conference room space 鈥� but it is not a girls-only club.
鈥淚鈥檝e heard the conversation about whether or not being female-focused is sexist, but really what we鈥檙e trying to do is create an environment where women feel included but we don鈥檛 exclude men,鈥� Westfall said.
鈥淪ome of our members have male business partners. We have male interns that come in and work with our members, so it鈥檚 not that no man can cross the threshold,鈥� she said.
The D.C. Hera Hub location currently has about聽80 members. The monthly membership ranges from $90 to $430 a month, depending on co-work space usage.
