Lady Forward is spreading to university partnerships, internship programs and the program of female leaders and connects women in the blockchain ecosystem.
Since its foundation in January last year, Blockchain4her has already yielded a measurable impact, finances 11 guided startups through his Pitch N ‘Slay competitions and more than 300,000 people worldwide attracted by collaborations with Unicef’s Game Changers Coalition.
It also builds on the earlier blockchain4youth initiative, launched in May 2023, which rests students with digital and entrepreneurial skills through courses, hackathons and mentoring programs.
