## About

Based in Texas, US, and founded in 2021, Workweek Media, Inc. is a growing group of business professionals who produce content. Adam Ryan (CEO) and Becca Sherman (COO) are the co-founders of the company. In August 2026, Workweek Media, Inc. raised USD 17 million in series B funding from Next Coast Ventures and Aperiam Ventures.

The company provides a platform that enables content producers to access advantages and services that enable them to provide specialized audiences with in-demand content. The firm serves industries including fintech, media, healthcare, investments, climate tech, audio, marketing, cannabis, memes, and people and culture.

Workweek generates revenue primarily through business-to-business advertising and sponsorships sold against its newsletter and podcast audiences, targeting endemic advertisers seeking access to verified, industry-specific professional readerships. The company shares a variable portion of this advertising revenue with the practitioner creators who produce its newsletters and podcasts. Additional revenue comes from live events and, following its most recent funding round, from onboarding external creators onto its publishing and advertising infrastructure under a revenue-sharing arrangement.

Following its Series B round led by Next Coast Ventures with participation from Aperiam Ventures, Workweek plans to transition from a closed content operation into an open newsletter platform, onboarding practitioner creators from outside its existing roster to launch and grow their own newsletters. The company intends to extend its advertising infrastructure, which identifies subscribers by professional role and employer, to these new creators in phases, broadening its business-to-business advertising network beyond its original industry verticals.
