It sounds funny until you realise how close it is to reality for thousands of women entering the industry every year.
Talent isn’t the problem. Ambition isn’t the problem. The problem is the missing bridge — the guide, the champion, the person who says, “You belong here.
Keep going.
🚨 When mentorship is missing, the risks are real:
• Women leave tech roles faster because they feel isolated, overlooked, or stuck.
• Confidence erodes, even in brilliant, capable women who should be leading teams — not doubting themselves.
• Innovation slows down, because diverse ideas never make it past the first hurdle without someone opening the door.
• Leadership pipelines shrink, and the industry keeps recycling the same voices at the top.
This isn’t a “nice-to-have” issue. It’s a structural one.
🌱 Mentorship isn’t magic — it’s momentum.
A mentor doesn’t need to be a unicorn CTO with a TED Talk.
Sometimes it’s the colleague who explains the unwritten rules.
Sometimes it’s the manager who advocates for your promotion.
Sometimes it’s the woman who says, “I’ve been there — here’s how I handled it. Every time a woman lifts another woman, the entire ecosystem gets stronger.
⚡ What if we changed the script?
What if every woman in tech had someone in her corner?
What if mentorship wasn’t luck, but culture?
What if we built networks where women rise together, not alone?
