The Expat Woman

What The Expat Woman does

The Expat Woman is a privately held, founder-owned community and membership platform founded in 2013 by Nyna Caputi in San Francisco. It serves women living abroad, providing a global community of 50,000+ members across 4 countries through events, content, coaching, and entrepreneurship programming. Core offerings include a paid membership community, in-person and virtual networking events (400+ hosted historically), 1:1 coaching and consulting from the founder on personal branding, LinkedIn, and YouTube visibility, workshops, and the Start Yours Virtual Bootcamp for women entrepreneurs. The business operates with 1–10 employees and no outside funding, generating revenue from membership subscriptions, coaching/consulting fees, bootcamp tuition ($250–$295), event ticket sales, affiliate marketing (including Amazon Associates), and a merchandise shop. Distribution is primarily direct-to-consumer via the website, YouTube, social media, email newsletter, and events, with content marketing and the founder's personal brand as core acquisition channels. The technology stack is conventional — a website/WordPress-style CMS, email marketing via MailerLite, YouTube, and social platforms — with no proprietary platform, AI/ML capability, or disclosed API surface.
