Descriptiontext

SheWorx is a community and event platform focused on closing the funding gap for women entrepreneurs by connecting them with capital sources through curated programming. Founded by Lisa Wang in 2017 and acquired by Republic in 2020, the company operates as a subsidiary within Republic's broader private-markets ecosystem. Its core offering centers on event formats, including virtual roundtables and panels, one-on-one office hours with investors, and large-scale summits such as the flagship Fund the Future event co-hosted with SoGal Foundation. A complementary Perx program aggregates perks and discounts from 30+ corporate partners to lower operating costs for member founders.

The platform serves two primary user segments: women entrepreneurs (founders seeking funding, education, and investor access) and women investors (angels and funders seeking deal flow). The community exceeds 25,000 members globally, spanning the US, UK, and Singapore. SheWorx does not develop proprietary software; its technology layer is limited to a website, email newsletter, blog, and Instagram-based community engagement, with the real 'product' being programmatic access to curated events and investor introductions.

SheWorx operates as a free-to-join community rather than a transactional revenue business. Monetization, if any, is indirect through corporate sponsorships (Samsung Next Ventures, Rise/Barclays, SoGal) and through Republic's regulated crowdfunding and Republic Labs VC infrastructure, where SheWorx functions as a top-of-funnel brand and deal-sourcing asset. The company runs with 1-10 employees, is headquartered at Republic's New York office, and currently operates under CEO Bianca Caban following founder Lisa Wang's transition to a broader role at Republic.
