SheWorx is driving the movement for gender parity in entrepreneurship.

 
 

SheWorx is the leading global platform and event series empowering 20,000+ female entrepreneurs to build and scale successful companies.

SheWorx was acquired by Republic in 2019. While women receive less than 2.2% of VC funding, women actually outperform men by 30% in crowdfunding, largely due to its community-oriented nature and the ability for non-accredited investors to invest as little as $10. Republic focuses on funding underrepresented founders with 40% of all investments on Republic having gone towards female founded startups. Republic's crowdfunding investor base has funneled over $17M into 100+ startups while their institutional/accredited investor base has deployed $150M+ since 2018.

SheWorx has organized over 300 events over the last four years and has successfully helped women in the community raise over $50M in cumulative funding. With the SheWorx partnership, Republic is creating an even more robust system by increasing the accessibility of equity crowdfunding to an already existing female entrepreneurial community.

SheWorx arose from a profound need to empower women in a 94% male dominated investment landscape. Founder Lisa Wang wanted help women draw upon their existing strengths and develop skills to face said challenges head on. This mentality gave rise to SheWorx and our core values called the “Triple A values”: Altruism, Ambition, and Action” — encouraging an inclusive, collaborative community where everyone’s voice is heard.
