Our Solution

Our solution's stage of development:

Pre-Seed

Our solution:

We provide scalable, tangible, tech-backed solutions to close gender gaps in tech. Current D&I offerings have been "shoved" into the non-profit/CSR world, resulting in low-tech, low-scale programs. We're rethinking this issue, and providing clear paths for people - companies, investors, women, founders - to walk the walk.

The problem:

Problems:

Diversity "solutions" are largely low-scale, low-tech and therefore low-impact (we have specific testimonies from multiple recruitment clients to this effect).
Diversity efforts have largely been placed in the "nice to do" category, when they need to be in the "core business solutions" category, and seen as a benefit to the bottom line.
The discussion around women in tech has reached a tipping point, but there are very few actual solutions available to start making true impact.

Why our solution will solve the problem:

I ran a large global non-profit in this space for years, and felt the lack of resources needed for true impact. The two main factors needed are 1) technology as the platform 2) for-profit, for-good model as a pathway to sustainability and growth.
There is overwhelming evidence that increasing diversity at any level will make a company more successful, therefore, creating an efficient, scalable way to close gender gaps (and increase diversity) will improve company and industry success.
Example: A hiring manager who wants more women usually goes to 5-10 non-profits/community groups to get candidates. An inefficient process with low candidate flow.
