Membership FAQ
What makes Podium different?
Most networks give you more people, Podium is built to find you the right one.
The one promise we deliver on is the curation of people.
Podium finds you your accomplices — the women on their own non-linear path who get where you are without needing to explain, and who you can figure things
out with.
We're selective on intention and fit - not on titles, seniority, or how impressive your résumé looks.
Podium members are:
• 8+ years into a professional career and thinking about their next chapter
• Testing a side hustle while still having a day job
• Currently an early-stage founder or solopreneur
• Juggling multiple income streams and building toward independence
• Looking for peers in a similar career season, not a step ahead
We're a diverse group living in Singapore, a mix of locals and foreigners, across industries, backgrounds, and non-linear paths.
Is this membership only for women in Singapore?
For now, yes — our in-person events are based in Singapore. But we’re growing, and you’ll be the first to know when we expand.
Why is there a membership fee?
Podium is an investment in the people who'll walk your next chapter with you.
We curate for that, and we price for it.
Behind every Podium experience is a full-time team thinking carefully about who's in the room, what stage of life they're in, and what they're looking for.
That kind of intentionality doesn't happen by accident - and it can't happen for free.
The membership fee is what makes it possible for us to hold that standard, so you can simply show up.
Why do I have to pay separately for events if I’m already paying a membership fee?
Your membership fee includes:
- Member discovery — 400+ members to search, browse, and reach out to on your own time
- Personalized 1:1 introductions — up to 3 with half-yearly, 6 with yearly
- Access to member-only Meetups and Podium Events (from $10)
- Chapters — vetted groups of 8 women in similar career seasons (from $120)
Each event is priced separately depending on the level of curation involved.
This way, you only pay for what you join, without wasted fees or pressure to attend everything.
Do I have to attend a minimum number of events?
Not at all.
Join what fits your life — some members attend weekly, others once a month.
There’s no pressure, just options.
Yes. You can cancel before the next cycle begins.
