Less Look at me.
More You too?
The Solopreneur Test Kitchen is a $10/month women-centered business community for solopreneurs who are tired of shallow networking and want real conversation, real connection, and women worth knowing.
Business is hard enough without all the weird energy
You've got ideas. You've got instincts. You've got a business you genuinely care about.
What you don't have is a room.
You know the kind. A place where you can say, Okay, I'm trying something new and I'm not sure it's working, and nobody pitches you a $5,000 program in response. A place where people remember your name and your business from one month to the next.
If you've been around the solopreneur block, you've probably met these "communities":
THE REVOLVING DOOR
New faces every week, so every conversation starts back at So… what do you do?
THE ONE-WOMAN SHOW
One expert holds court while everyone else nods along in the chat.
THE GHOST TOWN
A great kickoff call, then crickets. The group feed gathers more dust than your treadmill.
THE PERFORMANCE
Everyone's crushing it, all the time. Nobody's ever mid-experiment, confused, or just plain tired.
Meanwhile, you're still making every call yourself. You're still working through roadblocks on your own, and you're still explaining to your very supportive friend why that email sequence matters so much.
The problem isn't that you need more information. It's that you need people who already get the context, in a room that isn't overwhelming or filled with distractions.
Welcome to the Solopreneur Test Kitchen
There is no one perfect recipe for solopreneur success. It's a whole lot easier to figure out yours, though, when you're building in good company.
The Solopreneur Test Kitchen is a women-centered peer community for solopreneurs building service-based businesses. These aren't passive members waiting to be taught. They're capable people with real experience and real perspective to bring to the table.
Here, we mix strategy, experimentation, and real connection. We test, we tweak, and we find what fits.
Showing up "mid-experiment" is completely normal. In fact, it's kind of the point.
What women told me they wanted
Before building the Solopreneur Test Kitchen, I asked women solopreneurs what makes a community feel real. Through conversations and survey responses from women solopreneurs, their answers came through loud and clear:
"Real reciprocity"
Never forced or fake; just women who show up when you need them, and you do the same.To be known
Not best friends with everyone, but knowing who's in the room and feeling seen by them.Useful feedback
Honest, thoughtful input on offers, pitches, and ideas, not polite applause.Structure without chaos
A container that stays simple and solid, so relationships have room to grow.Connection that lasts between calls
Built-in ways to follow up, so you don't need fifty million coffee chats to keep a relationship alive.
So that's exactly what I built.
How it works: Belonging First
You can't manufacture connection. You have to build the conditions for it.
So the Solopreneur Test Kitchen follows a deliberate order: belonging first, then participation, then real peer support. Trust comes before honest asks, and every piece of the room is designed to earn it.
Here's what that looks like each month.
Solopreneur Speed Networking
AKA The Front Door
This is where women meet the room. It's a public monthly event that's open to members and non-members alike, so fresh faces and fresh energy keep coming through the door. Expect quick, lively conversations with other women building solo. Expect zero awkward elevator-pitch Olympics.
2nd Wednesday | 11 am ET
Free for members
Table for Two
Where familiar faces become women you actually know
This is the heart of the community. In one hour, you'll have three 20-minute, one-on-one conversations with fellow members. Month after month, those conversations add up. You stop being a name in a feed and start being known. And you start knowing everyone else, too.
4th Wednesday | 1pm ET
Members only
The Community Space
What keeps the conversation going
This is the connective tissue between live events. Pick up where you left off, follow up with someone you met at Table for Two, or share what you're working on. Each conversation doesn't have to start from scratch.
It's not a firehose, it's a room that's easy to return to, even in a full week.
Ongoing
Asks, Feedback & Peer Perspective
The good stuff happens only once trust exists: The requests like, Can I get your eyes on this offer?, the honest feedback, and the real peer perspective. We won't force it on day one, and no one expects you to bare your soul to strangers on your first visit.
As you get to know the women in the room, asking for input starts to feel natural, and so does showing up for someone else. That's reciprocity the real way, built on trust instead of a pinned post.
What Your First Month Should Feel Like
I'm not promising an overnight transformation. No magic wands here. But within your first month, I want you to feel:
"I'm not anonymous here." People recognize you. You're not lost in a crowd.
"I've actually talked to real people." These are genuine conversations, not just profile pictures.
"I know how to participate." Light, host-led onboarding and clear community norms mean you'll know where to go and what to do in under 10 minutes.
"This room is different." It's more honest, more human, and way less performative than the typical business group.
That's the shift. You go from building alone to building in good company, and staying in motion because of it. For a woman running her business solo, that's not a small thing.
Let's be clear about what this is
The Solopreneur Test Kitchen Is
A peer community for women solopreneurs
A place to connect and share honest perspective
An affordable way to stay engaged
A room of smart women who support each other
Warm, low-pressure, and ongoing
Conversation and experimentation
The Solopreneur Test Kitchen Is Not
A coaching program
A hot-seat or mastermind
A high-ticket, high-touch offer
One expert leading the room
A results-guaranteed transformation
A content library you consume alone
Meet your host
Hi, I’m Windy - a solopreneur coach and community builder who’s spent years helping women build businesses that actually fit their lives.
I’ve seen what happens when women solopreneurs end up in the wrong rooms - spaces that are too noisy, too leader-centered, or too passive to create the kind of connection that actually helps you build.
That’s why I created the Solopreneur Test Kitchen: not as another place where an expert talks at you, but as a space to connect, experiment, and be in the room with women who get it.
My role is to shape the conditions for real connection to happen. I’ve designed this community with care, but it isn’t built around access to me. It’s built around access to each other - and around creating a room worth showing up for.
Why $10 a month?
Because a good room shouldn't cost as much as your first car payment.
This is founding member pricing. It's set intentionally low so the first women in the door can help shape what this room becomes.
For $10, you get the space and the events to connect:
Access to the ongoing member community space
Solopreneur Speed Networking every month (non-members pay $10 per ticket, so it's basically built in)
Members-only Table for Two every month
Host-led onboarding and guidance
Clear community norms that make safety and reciprocity the default
This is a low-cost membership with real value built in. For $10/month, you get consistent ways to connect, meaningful conversation, and a room that makes doing business solo feel a whole lot less solo.
Who this is for
The Solopreneur Test Kitchen is for women solopreneurs building service-based businesses, including trans women and non-binary solopreneurs who feel at home in this kind of room.
The Solopreneur Test Kitchen is for you if:
You want real relationships, not just more LinkedIn connections
You're the one who always shows up for others, and you'd love a room where that comes back around
You want peers to talk through ideas, offers, and roadblocks while they're still taking shape
You crave simple and steady over chaotic and bloated
You want community that fits into a full, real life
It's probably not the right fit if you're looking for coaching, a course library, or one-on-one strategy support. It's also not the place if you have a product-based business or you're hoping to recruit for direct sales or MLM.
FAQs
Is this coaching or training?
Nope. There are no trainings, hot seats, or content drops. The Solopreneur Test Kitchen is built for community, connection, and mutual support.
How much time does it take?
There are two live touchpoints a month, both on Wednesdays, lasting one hour each. Speed Networking at 11 am ET and Table for Two at 1 pm ET. The Community Space is there whenever you have a few minutes. That's it.
Who's in the room?
Smart, thoughtful women running service-based businesses of their own. The common thread is that everyone knows what it feels like to build solo.
I'm nervous about networking. Is this going to be awkward?
We get it. That's exactly why the room is designed to build belonging first. One-on-one conversations, clear norms, and zero pressure to overshare make it a whole lot easier to just be yourself.
Can I get feedback on my business?
Yes, over time. Asks and feedback grow naturally as you get to know the women in the room. We don't force it early, because honest input lands best when it comes from people who actually know you.
Can I try it out first?
Absolutely. Come to Solopreneur Speed Networking on the 2nd Wednesday. That's the front door, and anyone can walk through it and get a feel for who we are. And if you join and decide it's not for you, you can cancel at any time.
Come for the event.
Stay for the community.
Grow with the room.
Speed Networking is where connection starts. The Solopreneur Test Kitchen is what helps it grow.
If you're craving real conversation, peer perspective, and women worth knowing, there's a seat here with your name on it.
