Where Are the Women in AI? Bridging the Gap for Women Technologists
The talk draws on Rooftop's own Seattle data alongside All Raise, Stanford HAI, and McKinsey, and gives leaders three replicable strategies.
Our story
Rooftop started as a global community in 2023.
Rooftop launched in 2023 as a global membership community, a token-gated Discord focused on blockchain tech and AI, founded by Lana Zumbrunn and cofounder Sally Hodges.
In 2024 it widened to all emerging tech, with a focus on AI.
Why Rooftop
Rooftops are our vibe.
Pools, gardens, sunsets, yoga, bars, restaurants and parties are all best high on a rooftop. They evoke feelings of expansive freedom, fresh air, and are all best shared with others.
There is no ceiling–glass or otherwise–on a rooftop. Only endless sky and possibilities and that is what Rooftop is all about. We want to spend less time talking about 'inequity' and 'lack of gender diversity' (yes we know they are real, we've read all of the disheartening research) and more time getting us all up to the 'top level', expanding our horizons and leveraging new opportunities.
All the best rooftops have a pool, and we are no different. We are hosting a global movement of women pooling their wealth, time and experience to back women-led projects. We utilize emerging tech tools that are revolutionizing the way communities coordinate and leverage peer learning for growth and impact.
If you want to help close the gender investment gap, then Rooftop is for you. Learn where to get started and connect with others to find accessible opportunities to invest.
Go far, go together.
