‘Meet Moms Near You’ Says New Online Social Start-up

Site to connect moms of all walks with other moms in the area via geomapping

Boston (I-Newswire) September 5, 2012 - Meeting other moms will become much easier come the launch of a new social start-up, mama meetcha. Powered by geomapping technology, the social networking site will allow moms to easily connect and meet up with other moms in the area.

“Becoming a mom changes your life and the relationships in it. As a new mom myself, I am constantly trying to build friendships with other moms in the area. The challenge is finding out who lives nearby,” said founder, Meg Gerritson. “The meetup groups and websites are great, but often turn out to be a shot in the dark. You never know if you will connect with someone, and if you do, often times she lives too far away to make it worth the quick walk or play date after naptime.”

mama meetcha’s geomapping features make finding moms who live in the area effortless. Whether you are looking to go for a walk or run with a mom down the road, set up a playgroup with select moms who have children the same ages as yours, or meet up for a night on the town, mama meetcha will provide the social channel to achieve this and much more.

“When I moved to the burbs and had my son, I immediately felt the need to get out there and meet new people,” explained Colleen McDonald, a new working mom in Acton, MA. “I literally signed up for every moms group in our town and eventually met a small group of women with babies around my son’s age. If mama meetcha was around then, I know I would have met these local moms and many more so much faster.”

The site will cater to moms of all walks (working, stay-at-home and part-timers), making it easy for members to build relationships with other moms around their lifestyle and on their terms.

“It’s going to be a fun launch,” said Gerritson. “We will be rolling out in locations based on popular demand. And as we work on building member interest, we encourage moms who sign up to refer the site to other moms.”
