The program is ideal for women mentees who want structured guidance, accountability, and a safe space to ask questions about Web3 and AI.

Mentees are asked to commit to regular meetings, workshops, and events, and to come prepared with goals and topics for discussion.
​
​Mentees benefit from one‑to‑one mentoring from an experienced Web3 or AI practitioner, and access to curated workshops and events designed to accelerate learning and visibility.
​​
Key criteria for mentees:

  • Woman student or professional with a clear interest in Web3 and/or AI.

Mentors play a critical role in shaping the next generation of women leaders in Web3 and AI. The program is also designed to support mentor development through engagement, reflection, and structured feedback.

Why Do We Need this Program?

Women remain underrepresented in Web3 and AI, despite shaping the next generation of digital infrastructure and applications. This program exists to create a supportive environment where women can experiment, learn, and lead with confidence in these technologies.

​

The second season focuses on two aspects: fostering a safe space for learning, questions, and experimentation in Web3 and AI, and increasing the effectiveness and impact for both mentors and mentees through clear goals, tracking, and feedback.
