Hera Hub – Sorrento Valley

This is a great place to work and get things done! I’ve been a member for four months now and it has been transformational.
I’m just starting out as a sole proprietor and I struggled trying to work from home. Now, I come in full time, and get so much more done, without the distractions of home.
Hera Hub is also a very secure environment: you see the same people regularly and can step away from your laptop (unlike at, say, a typical coffee shop with WiFi). Speaking of coffee, there is a kitchen for doing coffee or tea and to store and heat up your lunch.
You can also reserve conference rooms, so you can meet with clients or partners in a professional space. There are also regular events and talks, some free and some paid. I attended one workshop on making contracts and it was well worth the money!

This is an AMAZING community of female entrepreneurs that all share a common vision, how do I share my unique talents with the world the best way I can. Since I became a member of Hera Hub I have been so pleased with all I have learned and the wonderful women I have met along the way. The founder, Felena Hanson, has been such an inspiration to me as a business woman and seeing all she has accomplished drives me to be the best I can be. The staff is also incredible and have always been their to help and encourage me in my journey as a business owner. I’ve attended multiple business boosters and have been educated on many strategies for building a successful company. I recommend Hera Hub 100% if you are a woman looking to rise to the next level in your business within a supportive group of like minded women!!!

Fantastic place. Perfect for networking or small get-​togethers. We had a «speed» networking meeting with vino and food and everything was terrific. Easy to get to and a lovely space. Sarah has it all worked out and made it very easy. Would be a great space to get work done for sure. Love it and can’t wait for our next Network Meeting!

A wonderful work space for women, providing support for entrepreneurs, this really is a hub where you can meet like minded individuals and make great connections.

I recently joined Hera Hub and I’m so thrilled to have access to this work space. For me, after over three years of working from exclusively from home, I needed a new inspirational space and just had the feeling of having to get out a bit and become more physically available to the community — rather than just via email. After a few months of hunting around I took a meeting with a group at the Carlsbad location and was introduced to the Hera Hub Philosophy — I knew I had met my co-​working match.
The spaces are designed for hard working motivated women — although men are welcome for meetings etc — the membership is for us ladies. It’s a spa — like atmosphere with plenty of caffeine to keep a girl going. The memberships range in hours per month in a few different levels and most include conference room space ( Unilocal Office Hours Meet Ups/​Biz Owner Presentations coming soon!). The value is understood by those of us who long to escape the desks of home.
I’m not there to socialize, I’m there to work, but I have to say the networking and chats that naturally happen are such a great benefit. «Look at me look at me» is NOT the name of the game here. Respectful helpful members abound — and the networking is really controlled to be something you feel intrinsically motivated to participate in (and VERY optional, which I love) The last thing I need is to wonder around with a glass of wine and a handful of business cards: Hera hub allows me to get my job done, schedule meetings in the awesome space when needed, and stand around in the «kitchen» with like minded women to give/​take real advise. While eating licorice, I might add.
I’m a newbie, but I’m twitterpated already! Hera Hub, my new desk away from home. Please note: The space is not open to the public so stopping in to have a Unilocal talk can be scheduled by sending me a PM or email!

Hera Hub transformed the way I do business and how successful and fulfilled I have become as a result. When I joined Hera Hub, I was two years into my college admissions consulting business. I was profitable and able to work part time, so by that standard things were going very well. The problem was that I felt like I had to force myself into contrived, awkward situations to build the sales funnel and market my business. Networking and its unavoidable lack of authenticity was taking a toll on me. Let’s face it; most people are at events to sell their product or service, period. That’s the end game. I don’t like to sell myself; I like for my services to speak for themselves and have my business grow as organically as possible through smart and informed business practices.
BECAUSE OF HERA HUB, I can now say that the business I envisioned is a reality. I work in a community of smart, strong, resourceful, and supportive women. My business has grown because I have embraced the relaxing yet productive work environment and accomplished more than ever before. I have utilized the wealth of knowledge, resources, and support available to me, and I have been happy to provide the same for my colleagues. My business is successful not because members give me referrals, but more so because we collaborate and I have the tools I need to prosper and grow. As a result of close business and personal relationships, we are motivated as a community to help each other as much as we can in whatever capacity we can, and that’s what Hera Hub is all about. Becoming a member of Hera Hub is one of the best business decisions I have ever made, and any female entrepreneur can benefit from doing the same.

This place is absolutely amazing for the woman who works from home, and needs to get out of the house from time to time. The atmosphere is very neat, clean, pleasant. The staff is outrageously nice. All of the working areas are very spic and span… lots of extras like books and Luna bars, coffee, etc.
There are conference rooms, small work rooms, a quiet room, and a large open area with lots of seating. Bench seating, pilates balls, couch setups, a full kitchen with a waffle iron… they really have thought of everything and it’s fabulous! There are so many little touches, I know I’m forgetting a lot. I wish I could give them TEN stars!
I haven’t had the fortune to attend any of the workshops they host (numerous!) as I am not actually a member, yet. I’ve just been lucky enough to be a guest twice. I hear they are lovely and a great networking opportunity.
BIG thumbs up!

My business has tripled in size thanks to the resources and guidance of experienced Hubettes!

I am a proud Hera Hubette.
I know … this review is supposed to be about the co-​working space HERA HUB. However, Hera Hub would not be what it is — if it weren’t for the camaraderie of the Hubettes, lead by the impressive Felena Hanson.
I feel like I’m part of a very unique club. Even feeling the vibe of «HI NORM» from Cheers. I look forward to going to work and seeing the cruise directors, Janelle and Mary, who offer warm welcomes and serve as excellent resources.
There are unlimited friendly faces, coffee, tea and Luna bars. There are plenty of events ranging from seminars and writing groups to happy hours and luncheons. I must also mention the Guru Hours where anyone can obtain free guidance or advice on almost any perplexing entrepreneurial business topic or service.
I appreciate that there are two current co-​working locations to choose from, Sorrento Mesa and Mission Valley. I also cannot wait until the third location opens in Carlsbad. So many opportunities for networking, meeting space and working.
This review wouldn’t be complete if I didn’t mention the private FACEBOOK and LINKEDIN groups exclusively serving Hera Hub members. Even Hubettes I have never met are a huge asset in answering questions or offering encouragement. These are very active on-​line forums that add another level of value to this membership.
I’ve spoken about what Hera Hub is. However, I haven’t highlighted what it is NOT. It is important to note that Hera Hub is NOT Starbucks. Hera Hub is NOT my home office. Hera Hub is NOT a singles pick-​up joint.
It is a spa-​like environment designed with women entrepreneurs in mind. It is comfortable and safe. It is a source of positive energy, inspiration and camaraderie. It is a brilliant and innovative establishment that I am thankful for everyday!

If I didn’t already have my own office I would totally work out of Hera Hub. Brilliant concept of shared work space for women. I found about it through their many business educational and networking events. It’s super affordable for the start-​up entrepreneur and provides a supportive and professional environment. Keep up the great work Hera Hub!

The best decision I have made in quite some time to fully realize my authentic purpose was to sign up with Hera Hub.
A huge shout out to Felena Hanson for her amazing vision and passion to connect, inspire, and champion women on purpose. Having been a full-​time entrepreneur for over 12 years, working at home has been such an isolated experience and wahla joining HH its like an instant family, camaraderie, incredible resources and support, and establishing new colleagues, collaborators, and relationships. Not to mention, in one week of being a new member I have two new clients, needed referrals sources for my clients (so I no longer have to do it all), and the support I have been yearning for to fully realize my own grander vision.
Thank you to Felena, Mary Stovall, and Janelle Doll for all you do!

Hera Hub is so-​So-​SO much more than a co-​working space. It is a flourishing entrepreneurial ecosystem — a village pulsing with talent and heart. In it, we thrive, in growing both our *businesses* and *ourselves* on this challenging and exciting entrepreneurial path. Amidst the exquisite atmosphere of the space, we generously share knowledge and referrals, create new alliances, hire each other as service providers, listen with encouragement in the stuck points, be each other’s cheering fans.
Like all healthy ecosystems, we are diverse — in age, culture, beliefs, type and stage of business. We’ve got hot and sassy, to grounded and wise. We’ve got web ninjas to wine makers, finance wizards to spiritual guides.
Put yourself where you can be your best, ladies! Once you step into Hera Hub, you’ll see that going it alone is crazy. You’ll never look back.

LOVE Hera Hub, I am the Health Insurance guru there every week and I just love it. I get way more work done there than anywhere else in less time. It’s very relaxing and quiet and Felena provides a spa like atmosphere. I also love the other members, I have made new friends and have collaborated with the women on various new business ventures

Hera Hub is the perfect place for any women entrepreneur. All the members are very helpful and offer a great support system for anyone that is starting their own company. The office area is open and comfortable with several conference rooms available for rent. Some of the membership perks include, free printing and coffee, topic tuesdays, networking events and business workshops.
I feel very lucky to have met Felena (owner), and admire her commitment to helping women entrepreneurs succeed.

We hold our executive board meetings and board meetings at this location. VERY nice and modern space.
Felena (owner) is really friendly and very accommodating with our association’s requests. There are several conference rooms to utilize and individual work spaces for those who need a few hours to do work.
For a nominal fee, you can become a member for yourself, your association or your business.
What’s awesome is that it’s located right across the street from Karl Strauss Brewery/​Restaurant. Couldn’t have picked a better place Hera Hub!

If you’re a female entrepreneur who works from home, Hera Hub is a must. Not only am I much more productive when I work from this peaceful coworking office, I am simply happier and more inspired. It’s a community of intelligent, friendly women who are excited to help take each other’s businesses to the next level.
My favorite things about being a Hera Hub member include the Topic Tuesday workshops, Business Buddy accountability program, inspirational quotes and art on the wall, unlimited free coffee, and of course — the amazing women.
I can’t imagine working for myself without Hera Hub!

Hera Hub is a great resource to me. In addition to being a place to work, everyone is very encouraging to one another. And the encouragement and new ideas are really motivating, especially when I am starting my own new business.
We have regular but of course optional informational presentations on various topics. So we can always learn something from each other. There’s just always something interesting happening.
Felena is just awesome but I’d also say that the members are very knowledgable about so many different areas that if you need advice or a reference or just words of wisdom to get you «unstuck», you can get that every time you walk into Hera Hub. There’s no reason to sit at home all the time — get out and change things up. It will benefit you and your business.

I literally told someone a few weeks ago that «I think Hera Hub’s changed my life»! I was in a total funk having been working from home for months, talking to my dogs and not being nearly as focused as I could be. A friend of mine mentioned HH on facebook, so I messaged her for a tour… and I was hooked. Both the people and the atmosphere are calming, productive, buzzing and inspiring — I cannot recommend Hera Hub (or Felena, for that matter) enough!
Felena goes out of her way to help people personally and professionally, because she’s just a genuinely *great* person, and she attracts the same to inhabit Hera Hub :).
Even if you think you don’t «need» somewhere out of your home office to go to, come visit this place, or attend a function and you’ll see that you want it, and then eventually that you did need it — and just didn’t know it!

Hera Hub is more than just a shared work space — it’s a community — and this community is filled with supportive, successful, career driven women.
The ambience is top notch, with a serene, spa like setting. The founder, Felena Hanson, is absolutely wonderful at connecting the right people together, initiating a variety of member events, and supporting you and your business in general.
Payment is a breeze and extremely reasonable considering the people you will meet as a member. Non-​members can also rent out event space or meeting rooms.
Parking is a breeze, the wifi connection is excellent, snacks and beverages are readily available, the women are nice, and the atmosphere is inspiring — what more could you ask for?

Not only is this space beautiful, it is functional and an asset to San Diego’s business community!
Everyone who is part of Hera Hub put in so much enthusiasm and professionalism, you want to be there everyday!
