Hey Lady! operates as an online, membership-based community platform designed to assist non-native English-speaking women in enhancing their language fluency and building confidence. The company was co-founded by Angela Punshon and Robert Punshon. Angela, with a background as an English teacher, CELTA trainer, and examiner, experienced the specific challenges women face in language learning, which directly informed the platform's creation. Robert Punshon brings over two decades of experience in digital product development, branding, and marketing to the venture. The platform evolved from a previous initiative known as The Ladies' Project, rebranding to Hey Lady! to better reflect its mission.
The business model is centered on a subscription service, providing members access to a private community platform. This platform facilitates connections among women from diverse cultural backgrounds, aiming to foster meaningful conversations and friendships. It offers a structured environment for practicing English through various activities, including live events, group coaching sessions, and conversation practice with native English-speaking partners. The service targets women globally who are looking to overcome communication barriers and improve their spoken English in a supportive setting.
Hey Lady!'s core offering is its structured community that combines language learning with social networking. Features include a calendar of daily online events, small group discussions on a range of topics, and opportunities for one-on-one conversations. A key component is the 'Speaking Partners Program,' which matches members for regular practice. The platform's structure is intended to provide a safe and encouraging space for members to build fluency and connect with a global network of peers, thereby addressing the common feelings of isolation or intimidation that can accompany language learning.
