We are Women Biz, a peruvian community who empower latin 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 30 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:

+30 face-to-face events organized +70 attendees per event. +30 scholarships awarded for events. +1k members in our main communication channel, including students, entrepreneurs, and professionals of all ages. +5k followers on all social networks (Youtube, Instagram, Twitter, Linkedin, Tiktok)

About Women Biz Workshops and Academy

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 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.

The workshops bring to the women an onboarding to this web3 world. We´re introducing them to the DeFi, decentralized finance. We´re onboarded by Web3beach to use 1inch as another alternative to use a wallet and personalize our Finance in diferents accounts, that was the key for use to advance in DeFi inclusion.

Aso, we have recently organized more than 2 workshops with one of our partners on how to invest in crypto and how to leave the fear of participating in safe investments.

All of this has been possible thanks to the support of our sponsors. Now many girls have been encouraged to invest from the minimum. And we want to continue organizing these types of activities, from how to use the 1inch wallet, how to make a bridge and how to make money with decentralized finance applications.

With 1Inch we have a project to organize 2 workshops per month, to start reaching out to more women seeking financial freedom. We want to explore this world of DeFi more and with your hand we can achieve it!

Join us in our mission to make web3 more accessible and empowering for all! Thank you for your support to a peruvian community.
