We host a variety of events every month including women in tech, leadership and business panels, career workshops, job clubs, hackathons, startup pitch events.

Our Goals

  • Create an inclusive and diverse community of international and American women
  • Support women founders and women in business, technology and leadership roles
  • Connect our network with investors, mentors, technologists, recruiters and leaders in the community

The Bay Area is a hotbed of hackathons but at almost every hackathon, women are under-represented. Women still make up the minority of workers in science, technology, and engineering fields. If we want to create inclusive tech communities, more women need to become active participants in their growth.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1500922224915{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-right: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;padding-left: 50px !important;}”][vc_column_text]
