Who we are

We are Women Biz, a peruvian community who empower women through web3. We are focusing on onboarding, education and networking in the web3 ecosystem.

Our journey started in January 2022 hosting IRL educational events in Lima, we managed to host more than 25 events with partner communities. We also believe education can change the way we live and the development of Latin countries.

The problem we solve*

According to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), in Latin America the percentage of women in the technology sector is around 25%, lower than the world average of 30%. In terms of web 3 technologies, blockchain and decentralized networks, the participation of women is even lower, with estimates ranging from 5-10%.

There are several factors that contribute to the low participation of women in the technology sector in Latin America. These include the lack of networking spaces to meet people from the technological field, another reason is gender stereotypes and biases, and finally mentioning the lack of access to education and training opportunities.

For this reason, at Women Biz our mission is to connect more women to the technological ecosystem of the web3 by holding events to inspire, educate and encourage networking among women. We also connect them with more women by generating networking networks and looking for growth opportunities.

Our numbers:*

+20 face-to-face events organized +70 attendees per event. +30 scholarships awarded for events. +800 members in our main communication channel, including students, entrepreneurs, and professionals of all ages. +5000 followers on all social networks (Youtube, Instagram, Twitter, Linkedin, Tiktok)

Women Biz Academy

We understand that web3 can be new and intimidating for many, which is why we strive to make it more accessible and relatable through our approach. We aim to break down complex web3 concepts into simpler, more digestible pieces connecting these new concepts with the knowledge and experiences women already have, allowing them to see the potential and relevance of web3 technology in their own lives and fields of work.

We try to make it more accessible for anyone. Since we started, our strategy is to focus on the best web3 learning experience for those who don´t know anything about cryptos, blockchain or emerging technologies. For that, we are launched our first coworking for women & our virtual school, where women can enjoy and have their better experiences in the web3 journey.

Our Academy will be consist in series of web3 courses with leaders who want to share their knowledge with latam women and make the onboarding, projects, travel experience more easily for everyone.

Join us in our mission to make web3 more accessible and empowering for all!

Thank you for your support to a peruvian community.
