Technology and finance have a reputation for being male dominant, but women have played a crucial role. We will be starting our Women in Fintech series that will be released monthly on the STK Medium blog. Through this series we will profile women in the industry, by sharing their unique stories, accomplishments and obstacles they face. We want to celebrate each woman’s accomplishments in the workplace well as open the conversation about their challenges. Through this series, we hope to inspire our readers with each woman’s journey and story. To kick off the series, we are profiling who we believe to be three influential women who pioneered the way for today’s women in tech.
At STK, we are running our own hackathon, Stackathon, which is a female-run blockchain hackathon in the Distillery District in Toronto. We are trying to bring together a Toronto blockchain developer community, in hopes of introducing more females in blockchain. We are also looking into running blockchain education in high schools, which will inspire the next generation of developers in computing.
