Women in Technology Wisconsin

What Women in Technology Wisconsin does

Women in Technology Wisconsin, Inc. (WiT Wisconsin) is a Wisconsin-based nonprofit organization founded in 2015 that works to attract, grow, and retain women in technology-related careers across the state. The organization delivers programming through three pillars — WIT@Work (workplace initiatives for professional women), WITonCampus (mentorship and educational programming including the Mentorship Program), and WIT4Girls (youth outreach including the Savvy Cyber Kids Volunteer Program) — supported by regional chapters in Northeast, Northwest, South Central, and Southeast Wisconsin plus a virtual channel. Its stated user base spans women of all ages and career stages, from K-12 girls to senior executives, with allied men and corporate partners as a secondary audience.

WiT Wisconsin operates as a community-led organization rather than a technology product company; it does not develop proprietary technology products and has no disclosed API, SDK, or AI/ML research output. Its 2025 launch of the AI in Motion series in partnership with Microsoft introduced hands-on workshops using Microsoft Copilot as part of a 5-part event series running through June 2026, positioning the organization within Wisconsin's broader AI workforce narrative tied to Microsoft's announced $4 billion Racine expansion and $7 billion total Wisconsin investment.

The revenue model relies on annual individual memberships, corporate sponsorships priced at $10,000 per tier (each tier providing 25 complimentary membership codes and Brand Ambassador selection rights), and individual and corporate donations. The go-to-market motion is community-led and event-driven: outreach runs through the witwisconsin.com website, email newsletters, and regional and partnership events, with no commercial product sales. Headcount is reported in the 51-100 range, and the organization is led by Executive Director Natalie Nelson.
