CryptoChicks has started as a meetup group in Toronto organized by two women to help other women to navigate through Blockchain technology.
In a short period of time small meetup group grew into an international non-profit organization CryptoChicks with the members, events and chapters in 38 countries. CryptoChicks educated thousands of women and youth all over the world in just short 2 years. Hundreds of those women now have careers and started their businesses in blockchain. To help them, CryptoChicks created mentorship programs, such as CryptoChicks Hatchery.
CryptoChicks are proud to be nominated for Blockchain Company of the Year Award at the Canadian FinTech and AI Awards and Diversity Initiative of the Year at the inaugural Women in IT Awards Canada.
