Hera Hub, founded by Felena Hanson in San Diego in 2011, is the first female-focused coworking space and business accelerator to expand nationally. Felena grew up in an entrepreneurial family and after finding herself out of work in her 30s, decided to re-evaluate her direction and seek opportunity to innovate.
In March 2010 she was turned on to the idea of coworking. At the time she was teaching marketing and entrepreneurship, whilst planning networking events and needed space for her business. Finding most existing spaces were designed for other audiences, she came up with the idea of building a work and meeting space where enterprising women could connect and collaborate in a spa-inspired setting.
Hera Hub hosts numerous networking events, educational workshops, provide mentoring opportunities, and have flexible coworking options for members and non members alike, and is now in six locations stretching from California to Washington DC.

Created by a team of female, queer, and POC founders, the Trellis team believes that diversity and inclusion will be even more essential to navigating a complex, post-pandemic world. It takes its name from a garden trellis, as the co-founders envisaged a unique and supportive space that encourages growth and where ideas can flourish.
Housed in a stunning three-level brick-and-timber building in downtown San Francisco, the recently opened venue has no shortage of space for professionals who are seeking a place to concentrate, collaborate or cowork.
Take your pick of private offices, dedicated desks and open seating, and make the most of the on site cafe with artisanal coffee and fresh-baked pastries. Not to mention the popular wine bar with 12 rotating wines and beer taps.
"Trellis is the workspace I wish I had every day I was stuck at home during the pandemic. A beautiful, calm oasis where I can stretch out my legs, be productive, caffeinate, and safely connect with real human beings," said founder Rebecca Pan.
