The Riveter is a for-profit company headquartered in Seattle, Washington. It is focused on supporting women in the workplace. It engages in political advocacy, provides office and work space, hosts events, and publishes content.[1] It was named after Rosie the Riveter, a symbol for women in the workplace during World War II.[2][3]
The Riveter was founded in July 2017 in Seattle by former attorney Amy Nelson and former social worker Kim Peltola,[4] who later left the company,[5] using $700,000 in initial funding.[6] In 2018, it raised $4.75 million in seed funding[6][7] and $15 million in Series A funding.[8][9] In mid-2019, The Riveter acquired a Denver coworking space business called Women in Kind.[10] The Riveter expanded to 9 locations by late 2019.[3][11]
The Riveter's gathering and work spaces consisted of offices and large co-working spaces filled with desks.[12] Some locations also provided fitness events, workshops, and other services.[4][11] In 2017, The Riveter's membership is about 75 percent female and 25 percent male.[2][8][12]
During the summer of 2020, The Riveter shuttered its physical locations, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, launching its digital community online.[13]
