WIN is a community of innovators working together to break down the barriers that keep women from advancing and leading in innovation. Together, we champion innovation by and for women, and are proudly building a world where women are defining and designing better futures.
THE WIN COMMUNITY
WIN (Women In Innovation) is a gathering place for innovators across industries and disciplines. With more than 5,000 members globally, and local chapters in New York, San Francisco, and London, our community brings together designers, strategists, researchers, analysts, academics, product managers, technologists, and entrepreneurs.
We offer a range of programs to equip, connect, and celebrate our members, ranging from our monthly events and cohort programs to our yearly innovation awards and podcast.
Together, we create momentum for women in innovation through action-oriented programming, tangible tools and resources, and the support of a generous community.
Our
story
WIN was founded in 2016 in response to a gender gap in the innovation field.
Only 25% of the top innovation firms are led by women
Women accounted for only 20% of Fortune 500 Chief Innovation Officers in 2018
There’s a gender wage gap of 17% between men and women in STEM occupations
Only 2% of VC funding went to women-only founded startups in 2022
We want to change these numbers. But we know true change takes more than simply having a seat at the table.
THE WIN MISSION
Our mission is to increase the impact and influence of women in innovation.
We provide a platform for women in innovation to build the community, clout, command and access to capital necessary to define and design better futures.
