Exposure

She says, she’s known founders Nancy and Lara since the beginning of Cloudhoods. “For my business, it was a perfect match. Not only was their audience within my target, but also the events they had done were very professional and so much fun. As a mumpreneur, I had the opportunity to showcase my products to a wide diversity of women in the UAE,” said Tracy.
Networking
Dr. Supriya Chauhan, was a new mom in a new country with aspirations to start a business. Attending one of Cloudhoods events, she recalled her experience: “ It was exceptionally inspiring to watch these mums feeding their babies, caring for them, and managing international businesses. I hesitantly asked for help and guidance, on where to start to establish my own trade. To my surprise, the community welcomed me with a great response, through networking and social media exposure. Having got several clients, there has been no looking back ever since. Cloudhoods introduces us to this world of a powerhouse, making motherhood a happier journey,” said Dr. Supriya.
Support
“Cloudhoods is a fantastic application supporting mom-entrepreneurs. They helped us in promoting our business (The Felt Project). We’ve had a great succession in collaboration with Cloudhoods’ promotional campaigns focused on building awareness for our brand and its concepts. So glad we have their team’s support in enhancing mentorship and inspiration among the community!”- says Fatima Ustad, is a mom of one boy from India, also founder of @thefeltproject.
