Gelman returned to New York after Clinton’s primary defeat. She finished her bachelor’s degree in political science at New York University. During this time, she also appeared in the satirical web series Delusional Downtown Divas by Lena Dunham.

Career

Audrey Gelman worked as a press aide for Hillary Clinton’s campaign for president in 2008. She served as deputy communications director in Scott Stringer’s successful campaign to win the position of New York City Comptroller in 2013.

During the 2012 presidential election, Audrey Gelman was involved with the revival of the political action committee Downtown for Democracy. In 2013, Gelman joined the New York office of strategic consulting firm SKDKnickerbocker.

Gelman launched The Wing in October 2016, a women’s co-working space with her co-founder Lauren Kassan. Initially, she and Kassan raised $2.4 million to create the club, with “aspirations to resurrect the atmosphere of the women’s clubs of the late 19th and early 20th-century suffrage movement.” The first location was in the Flatir on District. The club had a founding membership of 200 women.

In its first two years of operations, the Wing did not have a formal membership policy and its practice was to only admit women and non-binary individuals. On March 1, 2018, the New York City Commission on Human Rights started a “commission-initiated” investigation into how The Wing membership system operates.

In August 2018, a male applicant who was denied admission filed a lawsuit against The Wing for gender discrimination. Shortly afterward, the company instituted its first formal membership policy which went into effect on September 24, 2018. In June 2019, the Wing’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit was denied and as of September 2019, the lawsuit was pending.

In April 2017, The Wing announced it had raised a Series A led by venture capital fund New Enterprise Associates with support from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and an expansion to three new locations. The Series A funding came to $8 million.
