TechGirl, a company that aims to increase the pool of female founders in tech by supporting them early on in their entrepreneurial journey, today announced the official launch of the TechGirl Foundation (TGF), a non-profit dedicated to leveling the playing field for female founders in the tech industry. With a mission to support women early in their entrepreneurial journeys, TGF is set to provide scholarships, guidance, and access to underrepresented and underserved communities.
In recent years, the technology sector has shown significant growth, becoming one of the most influential sectors globally. However, this expansion has not been evenly distributed. Women, particularly those from underrepresented and underserved communities, are significantly underrepresented in the tech industry. TGF aims to change this through a series of initiatives designed to empower and inspire women to pursue and launch their tech startups.
The TechGirl Foundation’s aim is to increase the pool of female founders in tech by supporting them early on in their entrepreneurial journey. TGF will grant scholarships and provide access and guidance to underrepresented founders and underserved communities through workshops, virtual speaker series, and networking events. By doing so, they hope to empower women to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams and contribute to the growth and innovation of the tech industry.
"We believe that diversity and inclusion are key to innovation. By supporting female founders from the very beginning of their entrepreneurial journey, we can help create a more balanced and diverse tech landscape," says Lynn Fernando, President at TechGirl Foundation and Co-Founder.
As part of its launch, TGF is excited to announce its participation at NY Tech Week. The foundation will be attending various events and panels throughout the week, including the InvestHER Roundtables, offering attendees the opportunity to learn more about their mission and how they can support it. They will be joined by other female investors and leaders in VC in the impact space, DEI, AI, and more. This includes A16Z, IFundWomen, Advaita Cap, Alternative Wealth Partners, Emmeline Ventures, iHeartMedia Ventures. Gritty in Pink and Live Nation lead the discussion to speak on a variety of topics including impact investing, AI, climate tech, marketplaces, and the future of work.
"We invite all philanthropists, donors, and technology entrepreneurs to join us at NY Tech Week. Your support can make a significant difference in the lives of these female tech entrepreneurs and the future of the tech industry," adds Rajul Kadakia, Co-Founder of TechGirl.
