At Parenthood Ventures we have over 200+ ParentTech focused startups redefining the future of parenthood. They're all working on some pretty exciting things that we'd love to share with more parents.

We're building a network of parent testers - called The Sandbox - where we send out opportunities monthly for parents to test (for free - no catch - we promise!) products and services from the startups in our ecosystem. This is a really phenomenal opportunity to participate in a survey, etc., in exchange for access to some innovative products and services.

Parenting can also usher in a frustrating struggle of gaps in a resume from being a parent/mother - so we're working to solve that through providing an opportunity for participants to list their involvement as a 'User Experience Consultant' on their resume and LinkedIn. We share more details in the short onboarding form - which you can sign up to join The Sandbox here.

Personally I find "Hivemind" a little off-putting, but I suppose mileage varies. Seems like this would only be effective as long as the person reading the resume has never heard of your company?
Appreciate this feedback, @RebeccaStevenson! Although we can't foresee how potential employers would respond, our hope is that this is a helpful resource for parents with employment gaps and/or for those interested in ParentTech products and services.
