No, we do not offer a trial plan at the moment. A Podium membership primarily gives you the infrastructure to find your people, which is not an instant process.
Our membership period is designed to account for that, and allow you to move at your own pace according to your schedule, without feeling pressured into having to make meaningful connections within a compressed window of time.
If an annual commitment feels too much to begin with, we encourage you to opt for the 6-month plan instead.

Do you offer a trial period for membership?
We do not offer a pause option.
Our membership works best as ongoing access rather than a month-on-month commitment. We understand that life gets busy, work travel picks up etc. Some months you'll barely log in, while other months you'll be at 3 things across 2 weeks. That's completely normal.
We’ve intentionally designed our membership to serve you even in busy periods — in months you may not have bandwidth to show up and engage just yet, message someone from your matches and lock in coffee for when things ease up, so you're not starting from zero when you're ready to engage again.
The value of your membership isn't the events on the calendar, it's having access to connect with women whenever you're ready and in whatever capacity your schedule allows for it: online or in person, on your own timing.

What’s included in the membership?
Podium is for those looking for peers in a similar career season, not a step ahead. If you’re looking for professional networking or seeking a mentor to offer advice, we may not be the right space for you.
Will I find a mentor at Podium?
We're a diverse group based in Singapore, a mix of locals and foreigners, across industries, backgrounds, and unconventional paths. Most members are 8+ years into a professional career and thinking about their next chapter, testing a side hustle while still having a day job, or building something of their own.
Podium is for women who are:
- Outgrowing the traditional path
- Going beyond the 9-5
- Questioning the status quo
- Reconsidering her career ladder
- Redefining success
- Carving their own path
