How we started

Picture
DWiT was founded in the Spring of 2015 when a pair of female friends in tech turned to each other and said, "But someone else must've gone through this before!"

​The conversation and organizations around women in tech seemed deeply divided by roles-- technical, UX, etc. Out of a desire to meet peers across disciplines, they asked Caktus Group for support. And that's how DWiT began.

Our mission


​​To be a safe space
We host women-only events where members can freely share stories, challenges, and solutions.

​To connect women across disciplines
Women in all roles are welcome. We often face the same challenges. There's strength in hearing from many perspectives.

To be a source of insight for local companies
Stories are important, but they become policy-changing when backed by data. We seek to provide data-driven insights to local companies.
