Our Pioneers community exists to chart a new path for outlier women and gender-diverse people to become leaders at tech startups and start venture-scale businesses.

The Pioneers community creates a space for the most ambitious people working at high-growth startups and beyond to learn from each other and founders who’ve done it before, to grow as a leader and meet others on a similar journey.

“What I love about Pioneers events is that it feels like the speakers are talking directly to you, and you’re surrounded by incredible people on similar journeys to you.”

— Shilpa Mohan,

Head of Operations at ProcurePro
