What The*gameHERs does

The*gameHERs is a media platform and social networking community serving women and femme-identifying individuals who play games and work in the gaming industry. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in New York, the company operates a Discord-based community of approximately 50,000 members with 3.4 million impressions, supported by active social media channels across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, and LinkedIn. Its core offering centers on community connection, educational bootcamps (including the PowHER Play: Level Up Day Virtual Bootcamp launched in September 2025), career development programming, and ambassador programs with major brand partners such as Thunderpick, Walmart, and the 1000 Dreams Fund.

The company generates revenue primarily through brand partnerships, ambassador program sponsorships, and community/educational services, and it operates as a brand under the parent company Good Game Group Inc. following a 2025 merger with Good Game Show TV. The proprietary TGH App has been sunset in favor of the Discord platform, signaling a cost-disciplined consolidation onto third-party infrastructure. Notably, the company's Solutions page prominently features 'LUMINU,' described as a financial services platform with Personal, Insurance, Business, and Enterprise tracks—an offering whose alignment with the stated women-in-gaming mission is unclear from available sources and may represent a vertical expansion or a repurposed website property.

With a headcount of 1-10 employees, an undisclosed 2024 investment from Dunhill Ventures, and management led by CEO Elena Ramirez alongside CFO Amit Patel and CTO Li Wei, The*gameHERs remains an early-stage, community-led venture whose growth depends on continued brand-sponsor relationships and the successful scaling of either its educational programming or the Luminu financial services initiative.

Emerging players

Others
