About

Polywork empowered the next generation of professionals to build their personal brand and make side income. The company raised $41 million in its Series A and B funding rounds, pivoted its entire product twice, and struggled to find market fit. Polywork shut down for good on January 31, 2025, returning its remaining capital to investors and giving customers 30 days' notice to download their data, after which it would be securely deleted.
