OUR MISSIONOur exclusive membership of 100 senior women have a passion for business and technology. Through their daily actions they define what it means to be "cool". Our mission is to provide networking, mentoring, promotion and support amongst women in and pursuing technology careers and growing their own businesses. That includes students preparing for technical careers, those with careers in the high-tech or IT industry, those in technical STEM and academia roles, and business owners - all who are seeking advice from other women who have “been there and done that”. We believe that Geek is Chic, Bold is Gold and that Knowledge Should be Shared. We're tearing down pre-existing stereotypes associated with smart, driven and technology-minded women. In doing so, we’ve found some of the Coolest Women We Know. |
