Women Go Tech

What Women Go Tech does

Women Go Tech is a Lithuanian-registered public institution (nonprofit NGO, legal name "Talentai technologijoms", entity code 304925882) headquartered in Vilnius that helps women start and accelerate careers in IT and engineering. Founded in 2016/2017 and active across 13 countries, the organization operates a community of more than 30,000 members with 100+ partner companies and claims to have transitioned 700+ women into IT roles; women in CEE commit to a stated target of 20,000 women trained in AI tools by 2026.

Core offerings include the paid Acceleration Program (a 6-month structured mentorship priced at EUR 249–399, with nine seasons completed to date), the AI Foundations Program (a free introductory AI course funded by Google.org), the AI in Action self-paced digital program delivered on the Circle platform, and Free Bootcamps run with Accenture Baltics that convert approximately 80% of graduates into permanent Accenture employment. Educational reach extends through the #EmpoweringGirls initiative with Junior Achievement Lithuania (22,000+ students reached), two podcasts (Matcha Minutes in English, Technologijos keičia in Lithuanian), an editorial blog, the Career Change Guide, and research publications including the Women and AI in CEE report and the Building the Future Power Hub study (5,475 women surveyed).

The business model is predominantly grant-funded: Google.org is the primary long-term funder (since 2017), supplemented by the Nordic Council of Ministers (since 2021), OSCE (since 2024), EU4Digital (since 2023), and corporate collaborators including Accenture Baltics, Vinted, Adform, and Junior Achievement Lithuania. The Acceleration Program is the principal fee-based product; most other programs are free. GTM is community-led through content, events, mentorship, and school activation, with corporate partners receiving a vetted female IT talent pipeline. The team is lean at 1–10 employees and the technology stack relies on third-party SaaS — Circle for community and program delivery, HubSpot for marketing forms, MS Teams for bootcamp delivery, and WordPress for the website — with no proprietary AI models, training data assets, or in-house ML engineering.

Direct peers

• Girls Who Code: US-based nonprofit focused on closing the gender gap in technology through education and mentorship programs for girls and women. Highly comparable as a women-in-tech training/mentorship nonprofit, though operating at larger scale and different geography.
• AnitaB.org: Global nonprofit advancing women in technology through programs, events, and research. Directly comparable mission to Women Go Tech's career navigation and community-building model.
• Reprograma: Brazil-based nonprofit providing tech education and career transition programs for women into technology. Closely mirrors Women Go Tech's reskilling + mentorship model (and is explicitly linked via UNESCO prize).
• Dare IT: Polish women-in-tech mentorship and reskilling organization; already a Women Go Tech partner in the joint Acceleration Program. Highly comparable product, adjacent geography, and overlapping CEE target audience.
• SheCodes: Workshop-based coding education platform for women with structured, paid bootcamp-style programs. Comparable in delivering tech-career training to women, but more productized and commercial.
• Code First Girls: UK-based nonprofit providing free coding courses and tech career support for women. Comparable women-in-tech training and employer-partnership model, with similar bootcamp-to-hire dynamic.
• Black Girls CODE: US nonprofit focused on introducing girls of color to tech through workshops and programs. Comparable training and mentorship mission targeting underrepresented women in tech.
• Girl Develop It: Nonprofit offering affordable coding classes and mentorship for women interested in software development. Highly comparable women-focused tech education and mentorship mission.

Broad incumbents

• Women in Tech: Global movement with national chapters promoting women's participation in technology through events, awards, and education. Comparable mission but operates as a broader advocacy brand with chapters rather than direct program delivery.

Regional players

• TechWomen: US State Department initiative supporting women in STEM from Africa, Central Asia, and the Middle East. Comparable in using mentorship and professional exchange to advance women in tech, though state-run and geographically distinct.
