Our Vision & Values

The mission and principles that guide our community

Our Vision

πŸ“Š

The truth is that people in underrepresented groups are often disenfranchised and devalued during moments of economic and societal transition. And research shows that the same risk is present in this moment of widespread workplace AI adoption, particularly for women. Only 1/3 of women are using AI in their personal & professional lives compared to more than half of men. And women still make up less than 30% of STEM related jobs.

It doesn't have to be this way.

To lead the thinking around generative AI, you have to know how generative AI works and deeply understand what is possible, what isn't, and where the risks and possibilities are. You only get there by first learning about the tech, then experimenting with it in earnest. That's how we get to a future where women are truly DEFINING AI.

More than that, if we can close the gender-tech gap for women then we start to empower more women to be at the decision-making-table by opening the door to more women founding companies, investing or buying companies, and purchasing technology.

When we create more economic opportunities for women especially around ownership, we start to close the gender-financial gap and really start to level the playing field for women β€” that's the underlying Big Vision and Purpose of our community.

Our Values

Our Values focus on creating the culture to bring this mission and vision to life. Because it starts here, with us building the system and environment internally that we wish we had externally. At baseline, it's a community-first ethos which emphasizes that discussions, content, and resources shared within our community are intended for the collective benefit of all members. And at our best, it's about bringing to life our biggest, wildest ambitions for women at work.

Value 1 of 4

Learn-by-doing

Working at the frontier of what's possible with generative AI means getting into the weeds and actually experimenting with different tools to really understand what is & isn't possible.

Why This Matters

Too often women are the ones who are waiting for the best practices to be published, or tell ourselves that "we're too busy with other things to carve out time to learn". But experimenting can be as quick as a 90 second ChatGPT prompt. And we promise you'll learn more about the quality of AI tech in those 90 seconds, than in any blog article you'll read.

Value 2 of 4

Unyielding Curiosity

We embrace relentless learning and encourage each other and ourselves to dive in, ASK QUESTIONS (no question is a bad one), and share openly in a default-to-public-channel manner to inspire the women around you about what's possible.

Why This Matters

We have to fail and share that we might not know an answer to something, to create a space where everyone (from beginner to expert) can feel like tackling something as new (or scary) as AI can be possible.

Value 3 of 4

Fierce Ambitions

We're not here to keep the status quo going, to keep telling ourselves we are "not the expert" or "not technical enough". Together, we're here to shake things up and redefine traditional boundaries of what's possible.

Why This Matters

We aim to make waves in the AI landscape… enough said.

Value 4 of 4

Unwavering Support

We actively strive to be allies and supporters in the pursuit of each individual's goals and aspirations. We recognize that our strength lies in lifting each other up, offering guidance, encouragement, and assistance to each other.

A rising tide lifts all boats β€” but let's together, create that rising tide (for this community, and for the women outside of this community).

Why This Matters

The world of work was not built for us (women, moms, caregivers, people of color), but this community is. We have a chance to BE the change we want to see in this world, and that starts with uplifting each other here & out there.

How We Live These Values

Putting our principles into practice every day

πŸ”¨

Hands-On Workshops

We create spaces for members to experiment with AI tools together, learning by doing through practical exercises and real-world applications.

πŸ’¬

Open Discussion Channels

Our community thrives on questions and knowledge sharing. We encourage public conversations where everyone can learn from each other's curiosity and discoveries.

πŸš€

Bold Initiatives

From leadership panels to policy advocacy, we create opportunities for members to lead, challenge the status quo, and make their mark on the AI landscape.

Peer Support Network

We build each other up through mentorship, collaboration, and celebration of wins. Your success is our success β€” together we rise.

We're so glad you're here with us!
