We facilitate curated member introductions and are proud to offer the most comprehensive and consistent calendar of events for modern women in Singapore.
We are:
- Curated, not random – We match, plan, and host with intention, so your time feels meaningful.
- Designed for depth – Events are shaped around life stage, values, and intent — not just job titles.
- Truly diverse – You’ll meet women from all walks of life with a shared mindset and ambition.
Who are the members?
We’re a diverse group of women living in Singapore, mostly in our 20s to 40s — a mix of locals and foreigners, across industries, backgrounds, and life paths. You can see a few of our members featured on our Instagram.

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.
What kinds of events are offered?
We run a range of events every month, each designed for a specific purpose. Check out our calendar here.
- To Reflect: Intimate hosted dinners discussing a particular topic or challenge; come as you are, honest & vulnerable.
- To Learn: Expert led workshops or sessions that encourage learning in a safe environment; come curious & open.
- To Mingle: Casual unstructured activities such as walks, brunches etc; come ready to socialize.
Can I pause or cancel anytime?
Yes. Your membership renews every quarter, and you can pause or cancel before the next cycle begins. We allow pauses for 1 quarter per year.
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 do I have to pay separately for events if I’m already paying a membership fee?
Your membership fee includes access to the Podium community (over 400 women), the platform, and curated member introductions. On top of that there is a full calendar of gatherings, and each event is then priced separately (starting from $10 onwards) depending on the format, whether there’s food, a host, or a venue involved.
This way, you only pay for what you join, without wasted fees or pressure to attend everything. You get to choose what fits your season, schedule, and energy.
Most paid member's clubs that include all event costs in their membership end up charging steep annual fees. We wanted to keep our membership affordable and flexible.
