What is SheSharp?
SheSharp is a non-profit foundation based in Amsterdam that fosters diversity and inclusion in technology and entrepreneurship, by providing an open and safe community for under-represented demographics to explore their interests and potential.
Our goal is to provide opportunities for under-represented individuals to share their passions, learnings, stories, projects, or challenges they overcame.
