PAST
Since 2011, Women Who Code built a vibrant community of nearly half a million technologists powered by the passion and dedication of 1,000 volunteers across 145 countries.
Together, WWCode created over 20,000 community-led technical trainings, empowered individuals with $3.5 million in scholarships, and dedicated over a million hours to volunteer service. Women Who Code connected people to more than 14,000 career opportunities, all while nurturing leadership growth and career advancement strategies. Women Who Code fostered a global network through every connection and effort where everyone felt a sense of community and support. In April 2024, sadly, due to a lack of funding, Women Who Code had to shut their doors.
PRESENT
We are humbled to welcome Women Who Code to the LWT family of brands. Our two unique brands share the common passion of uniting business and technology leaders from all backgrounds to level up their skills, network with professionals who can support their career growth and increase their economic power. And we’ve both made an intentional decision to focus our value on mid-senior leaders.
Despite the challenges of limited financial resources, we are committed to this community of brilliant leaders. We’re not backing down—we’re doubling down. But we want to be clear, this is not a merger; instead, our team is expanding our family of brands to build upon all of the work Women Who Code has done over the last decade.
Whether you’re coding your first line or leading the charge at the highest levels, Women Who Code, we want to support you.
We are thrilled to launch two new Women Who Code programs designed to elevate tech leaders ::
⚡️WWCode Leadership empowers mid-to-senior technologists to develop and build their leadership skills.
⚡️ WWCode Cities membership connects you locally and curates custom introductions to support your career growth.
At SheEO we are here to transform ourselves and systems by collectively working on the World's To-Do List. We started in Canada in 2015 to demonstrate a radically redesigned model to get capital (all forms of capital) into the hands of women and non-binary innovators. At the time ~3% of venture capital and 4% of bank loans went to women. It has since backslid even further with COVID exacerbating deeply biased systems and structures.
Over the years, SheEO has grown to 5 countries (Canada, US, New Zealand, Australia, UK) and evolved to formally recognize and support non-binary individuals as Activators and Ventures. Our collective purpose has also grown - from funding entrepreneurs to also shifting our mindsets, decolonizing ourselves, rooting in Indigenous wisdom and racial justice, and using our power to build equitable systems.
To date, we have funded 100+ brilliant innovators and we are creating ecosystems wherever we operate to ensure those who have been put to the margins are supported to co-create a world that works for all.
