Femme House

What Femme House does

Femme House is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2019 by producers LP Giobbi and HERMIXALOT to create equitable opportunities for women and gender-expansive individuals in music production and DJing. Its core product is a portfolio of education programs including paid fellowships, tuition-free bootcamps such as She Is The Producer (delivered in partnership with Ableton, She Is The Music, and We Are Moving the Needle), short-form workshops, a Backstage Pass membership community, and pay-what-you-can online courses. The organization supplements education with a media platform — Femme House Radio, launched in 2021 and syndicated via Sirius XM to 30+ stations — and a series of live activations hosted at W Hotels properties and industry events such as Miami Music Week.

Femme House's business model is nonprofit-donor-funded: revenue is generated through charitable contributions, corporate sponsorships, and in-kind partnerships with brands such as W Hotels, Ableton, and Dolby Atmos, which together underwrite program delivery. Programs are delivered either free (bootcamps, scholarships) or on a pay-what-you-can basis (online courses, Backstage Pass membership), and the organization's reach is reported at 15,000+ community members served since inception. Strategic activity in 2024-2025 has emphasized scaling geographic footprint through the W Hotels partnership network, broadening curriculum into immersive audio with Dolby Atmos, and extending programming into adjacent identity-based communities such as the Asian American Collective.

Operationally, Femme House runs with a small core team (approximately 11 members across executive, programming, and operational roles) and is governed as a tax-exempt charitable entity, distinguishing it from a venture-backed company. Its principal competitive position is built on founder credibility in electronic music, exclusive media distribution via Sirius XM, and an embedded ecosystem of tool-vendor and hospitality partners that would be costly and time-consuming for a competitor to replicate.
