Fantastic service! I still remember my first event and have met several people through attending events. Great community and speakers to get inspired from a professional or creative standpoint

I'm a big fan of brunchwork! The quality of speakers and the community they created is one I'm very happy to be a part of.

As a brunchwork attendee - I found the speakers to be on par with those your would find at a (much more expensive) industry, investor or vendor conference. The format encouraged participation and engagement. Applying these core principles should result in a very valuable learning experience, on par with some of the best MBAs in the world and with fewer of the disadvantages, including cost, co-location and technical coursework in unrelated fields. I look forward to hearing about what brunchwork at home alumni accomplish in the next 5-10 years, which is likely the ultimate proof of the value of this program.

I love brunchwork. I have attended in person and virtual events and love both. They have incredible speakers come in who lead though provoking discussions. Brunchworks has helped me shape the future of my own company

I love how brunchworks curates such highly sought out after speakers. The level of intimacy is what truly separates these events from others - the access that you have to the speakers. These events are interactive, thought-provoking, and educational.

I've been a part of the Brunchwork community for a few months now and it is the best community for entrepreneurs and professionals I've joined. The programs and events are high quality, thoughtful, and super productive. I've gotten valuable insights for my business endeavors and met wonderful, like-minded entrepreneurs along the way. I highly recommend.

I would 100% recommend Brunchwork to be your first choice for expanding your network! As a “New" New Yorker, I didn’t understand the value of networking until I went to my first Brunchwork. You’ll meet and collaborate with diverse professionals from many different industries. Brunchwork makes networking more collaborative and effective with its warm atmosphere and trending topics. Unlike other networking events, people are daring and entrepreneurial so you’ll definitely find value in every conversation.

I've been an NYC brunchwork member since the beginning of 2020, and I'm so glad I joined. After the pandemic, I thought the experience might go downhill, but honestly... I almost wonder if it's better. I've joined a lot of networking/ learning sessions over the shutdown and nothing has even come close to the Brunchwork experience. Paulina and her team does an incredible job of giving great content, creative a truly interactive experience, and creating useful and valuable resources for her members. I highly highly highly recommend becoming a member, and using the opportunities Brunchwork presents to their fullest advantage. I love it!

I've attend Brunchwork Business Intensive this year (September to November) and I can only recommend if! Small cohort with interesting and nice fellow students, the format is great and engaging despite evertything being on zoom (but that was also my opportunity to participate since they are based in NYC and I am based in London). I learnt a lot from it from the consulting playbook to finance key concepts that will help me with investment and strategic assessment of listed companies. I have also attend few of the Brunchwork talks onlline including one with Disney content director which was extremely insightful. All in all, great concept, very needed and very well delivered - looking forward to see how it keeps growing

The idea sounds great, but their platform and service are terrible. A few thoughts: - The pricing structure is unclear, and they don't communicate it until you ask. - I signed up and received a welcome email, but my login only came hours later - I was unable to watch one of the events because they didn't send me the link - They sent an email with the wrong time for one of their events, leading me to join an hour later and miss it - The process seems overcomplicated. Even as a member, you need to wait for them to send you a Zoom link. Once you try to join the Zoom link, they have to approve you. - The website UX is also awful. - I canceled my membership and still get emails - I did not participate in one of their events and they tagged me on it on LinkedIn as if I had participated, and there's no option to untag yourself. I was also not consulted if they could tag me. Given that a lot of people could use this for networking, that felt a little invasive for me. Anyway, great idea, but it's just not there yet.

@carolnogueira Carol, As I understand from our prior communication, your main criticism of brunchwork stems from finding 2 typos on our platform. You have *not* participated in a single brunchwork event. We promptly cancelled the membership that you *never* started, as soon as you said brunchwork wasn't for you. I thanked you for your feedback multiple times in private, and I am thanking you again now. * Every link you requested was sent to you. We have the email receipts. * Our content newsletter has an unsubscribe button. * Prices are listed on our website. * I personally apologized to you on the timing issue (PST vs. PDT typo in 1 email) after you reached out to me about it on LinkedIn. I explained to you that we had a *last minute, overnight* speaker emergency. In the midst of a global pandemic, emergencies happen. That's why there was a rare typo. * I explained to you that *online security* is the reason behind our Zoom process & the delay with the login. We haven't had a security problem because of the precautions we take. These precautions have not interfered with any other members experience, to my knowledge. I'm proud of our track record keeping our community safe, as other orgs have had challenges there. * The LinkedIn tag you are mentioning was *promptly* taken down, without you asking. I think it was within 5-10 minutes of the post, as soon as our social media assistant was notified that you cancelled your membership. You had RSVP-ed to many events before writing in the cancellation, confusing the support team. * You didn't go through our usual customer support channel (it's a great team and I stand by their work). You repeatedly messaged me on LinkedIn about these issues. I was quite concerned about the large deviation between your experience vs. the typical brunchwork on-boarding experience (across thousands of interactions - I do not think it's accurate to call brunchwork an 'idea' at this point). I didn't pass you on to customer service. I thanked you multiple times in private for flagging the 2 typos you found, and profusely apologized to you for any inconvenience caused. The transcript of the entire exchange is on LinkedIn. We have since fixed the 2 typos that upset you - including the sentence asking people to RSVP for events in the current calendar month (a holdover from our event days, related to minimizing food waste). You wrote to me this *particular sentence* caused you to cancel your membership. Thank you again for flagging the typos. I wished you the very best in private & I do so again now.
