The Ada’s List Partner network is a group of organizations who are committed to making their organizations work for their female employees - and these organizations want greater visibility in the Ada’s List community to help them grow their team or promote their inclusive workforce. For our inaugural year, we are looking for a select cohort of organizations who have a similar agenda to Ada’s List, organizations who want to see their female employees thrive and excel at all levels.
Why now and why Ada’s List?
Ada’s List is a community that serves as necessary infrastructure for a healthy and thriving tech industry that works for all. The environment for women in tech isn’t sunny - and is actually getting worse. Only 2.2% of all VC funding goes to women founders; the number of women in IT has halved in the last 20 years - when the data shows that companies with women in leadership positions outperform their peers. Communities like Ada’s List keep women in the tech industry by providing off the record advice, peer to peer support, and mentoring when they need it the most.
The Ada’s List Partner Network will give our members greater visibility into organizations that are great places for women to thrive. undefined
We’re great at helping our members shine - now we’ll help you shine.
Some background on Ada's List
Ada's List is a global network of over 8,300 women in technology (and those who identify as) launched in London in October 2013 by Merici Vinton, Anjali Ramachandran, Rosa Birch and Nicki Sprinz. Its aims are to connect women in digital to one another, provide stimulating content that elevates individual commitment for change in the tech industry, and generally encourage a more inclusive and diverse environment in the industry.
Women join Ada’s List first and foremost to find a community of women - women who, like them, felt isolated in their offices, careers, or alone working at a startup. They join Ada’s List to recruit new teammates or job hunt themselves; look for suppliers or vendors; find co-founders; get advice; meet up face to face; people join Ada’s List to connect and act.
The Ada’s List community is free for anyone to join. Our members fill out a quick online form and, after double checking their application, they join our community. At its core, Ada’s List is a non-hierarchical, democratic, transparent off the record listserv with several topic areas - jobs, women of color, edtech, tech, nyc, and london.
