Maria Hunt, in her early twenties always had that entrepreneurial spirit and wanted to do something to help people. That's just been her nature as she’s loved working for people.

She had been a horrible student in her student days barely graduating, but once she started working with these huge technology companies that's where it sparked her interests in learning. She learnt everything there is to learn about business and entrepreneurship from her once upon a time, co-workers and bosses.

“When you're working in a company, you have the social aspect, you're working with people but when you're a non-working mother, it's more isolating and lonely when you're just home with your kids.”

Maria worked for MySpace and other Tech startups that inspired in her, the social aspects. MySpace connected people, which is especially what mothers, ultimately need.

It was when Maria found these other mom groups, only to find there was mom shaming, being mean, or judgmental at one another.

She thought, she's getting older, and there is no time to do all of that, so she wanted to create this community of women who inspire, who look out for each other, who support, who loved to laugh, who love to have a good time and do not judge each other because, all women are going through all of it together.

It is then she created this community Unicornmoms, now almost 70,000 members where moms can have real discussions, a fun time AND even a dirty mind without any judgments or cattiness.
