AspiHer

What AspiHer does

AspiHer is a private, Calgary-based women's business club operating a single physical facility at 139 17 AVE SW, downtown Calgary. It sells tiered memberships (Basic Essentials at $100/month through VIP Corporate Inspire at $600/month, plus the Advocate Male Ally tier at $150/month) and derives ancillary revenue from event tickets ($35-$95), space rentals, and partner commissions with on-site and local wellness vendors. The platform is built on WordPress with MemberPress and WooCommerce for membership and e-commerce, and Stripe for payment processing; no proprietary technology, mobile app, API, or AI capability is indicated. Marketing is community-led, primarily through event programming (Power Stage speaker series, workshops, Scrum Sessions, My Friday Spa Day), referral, the website, newsletter, and organic social.

The target customer is women entrepreneurs, founders, and corporate leaders in Calgary seeking networking, mentorship, professional development, and a physical gathering space, with secondary demand from corporate teams purchasing multi-membership packages and from male allies sponsored by existing female members. GTM is direct, community-driven, and event-centric, with a curated online community (The Hub) used to deepen engagement between physical events. There are no disclosed revenue figures, headcount, funding rounds, or M&A activity; the company is founder-led (Desirée, CEO of Dezco Group of Companies) and operationally active, with events scheduled through December 2026.

Direct peers

• Ellevate Network: Global professional network for women offering membership-based community, mentoring, events, and career resources. Comparable in women-in-business focus and tiered paid membership model, though primarily digital with local chapter meetups rather than a single physical flagship club.
• Luminary: New York-based members' club and community for women in business, offering workspace, events, mentorship, and programming. Directly comparable to AspiHer's tiered membership and women-in-business focus, though Luminary is primarily NYC and digital-community focused.
• NeueHouse: Private members' workspace and cultural house with locations in NYC, LA, and London, offering workspace, dining, events, and creative programming. Comparable in tiered membership, physical facility model, and event-driven member value proposition, though it targets creatives broadly rather than women specifically.
• Chief: Private membership network for women executives (typically $600-$7,000+/year) offering peer groups, events, and career resources. Directly comparable to AspiHer's VIP Corporate Inspire tier in targeting women leaders with premium paid community access, though Chief is digital-first and US-focused.
• Hera Hub: Coworking and business accelerator space designed for women, with multiple US locations offering workspace, programming, and networking. Comparable in women-focused mission and multi-revenue model (workspace, events, partnerships), though structured as coworking rather than a private members' club.
• Allbright: Private members' club for women in business, founded in London with locations offering workspaces, restaurant, fitness, events, and programming. Highly comparable to AspiHer's positioning, though Allbright has experienced recent restructuring and is UK-based.

Broad incumbents

• Soho House: Global private members' club with physical locations offering dining, workspaces, events, and accommodation. Comparable in membership-club model and physical facility approach, though Soho House is much larger, mixed-gender, and serves creative/hospitality professionals rather than a defined women-in-business audience.

Others

• Female Founder Collective: Non-profit community network for female founders offering peer support, resources, and connections. Thematically aligned with AspiHer's mission to support women entrepreneurs but operates as a free community rather than a paid private club.

Regional players

• Parlour House: Australian private members' club for women offering workspace, events, wellness, and community programming. Highly comparable to AspiHer's positioning and amenity mix, but operates in Australia rather than competing in North America.
