Wonder Women Tech

What Wonder Women Tech does

Wonder Women Tech (legal entity: Wonder Women Tech Foundation) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2015 in Long Beach, California, that operates a global event and community ecosystem designed to advance the representation of women and other underrepresented groups in STEAM industries. Its core products are conferences and summits — held in Long Beach, Los Angeles, Washington DC, London, Brazil (LatinX), Africa, and virtually — complemented by supporting programs including the Hiring Humans Career Fair and Expo, Wonder Women Hacks and Hacks 4 Humanity hackathons, Junior Innovation Camps for K-12 students, Deaf Programs STEAM Camps, Mentor Magic Sessions, a Resume Review program, the #InvestInABoss pitch competition for female founders, and the Wonder Women Tech Show podcast. The technology layer is primarily an event-management and online community stack (including an MN.co community platform), with no proprietary AI, software product, or patented technology disclosed.

The organization serves a dual-sided audience: (1) individual attendees and community members — women in STEAM, K-12 students, the deaf and hard-of-hearing community, veterans, seniors 65+, and female founders — reached through tiered ticketing ($50–$99), free scholarships (1,500+ issued historically), and year-round online community access; and (2) enterprise and government sponsors — Fortune 500 firms including Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Deloitte, Hulu, WeWork, Walmart, LinkedIn, Oracle, Intuit, Meta, and NBC Universal, plus government partners such as the City of Long Beach, the State of Amazonas (Brazil), the UK Ministry of Justice, the U.S. Department of State, and Bloomberg Philanthropies — reached through sponsorship packages, exhibitor fees, and co-produced programming. Revenue is generated through one-time ticket sales, corporate sponsorship deals, exhibitor and partner fees, and donations, with affordability and accessibility (free career fairs, subsidized tickets for seniors, veterans, persons with disabilities, and youth) explicitly built into the pricing model.

Direct peers

• AnitaB.org: Operator of the Grace Hopper Celebration, the largest women-in-tech conference globally. Direct peer: same target audience (women in tech), same conference-driven model, and same Fortune 500 sponsorship base.
• Lesbians Who Tech: Community and summit for LGBTQ women and non-binary people in STEAM. Direct peer: same event-driven model, overlapping women-in-tech audience, and similar Fortune 500 sponsorship ecosystem.
• AfroTech: Annual conference and community for Black professionals in tech. Direct peer: shares WWT's BIPOC and women-in-tech audience focus, conference-and-sponsorship revenue model, and career fair programming.
• Women Who Tech: Nonprofit running summits and programs for women in tech. Direct peer: 501(c)(3) structure, similar mission, virtual-summit-plus-sponsorship business model, and target audience overlap with WWT.

Emerging players

• Kode with Klossy: Free summer coding camp for young women and non-binary teens. Emerging player: already a WWT partner; targets the same K-12 girls-in-tech audience and operates on a similar camp-plus-scholarship model.
• Girls Who Code: Nonprofit running summer immersion programs and clubs for high school girls in computing. Emerging player: comparable in K-12 STEAM summer camp programming, complementary rather than competitive to WWT's events.
• Black Girls CODE: Nonprofit providing STEAM education and coding workshops to girls of color. Emerging player: overlaps with WWT's Junior Innovation Camp and K-12 STEAM programming, with a tighter education-only focus.

Broad incumbents

• TechCrunch Disrupt: Flagship tech conference from TechCrunch focused on startups and venture. Broad incumbent: overlaps in career fair, pitch competition (#InvestInABoss parallels Startup Battlefield), and enterprise sponsorship pool, but not mission-aligned.
• SXSW: Large-scale multi-track conference and festival spanning tech, film, and music. Broad incumbent: comparable conference production scale and corporate sponsor base, though WWT is more narrowly focused on diversity in STEAM.

Others

• Techstars: Global startup accelerator and founder-development platform. Adjacent: relevant to WWT's #InvestInABoss pitch competition and female-founder programming, providing a model for evolving that into a fund or accelerator.
