TecHer Forward is an AI literacy and founder empowerment program for women who have been left out of every technology wave before this one.
Mission: 1,000 women empowered and founder-capable by 2030.
"We don't just teach AI. We reshape how women see themselves in relationship to technology."
From AI prompting fundamentals to building with AI tools — we start where you are and build from there. No prior tech background required.
Women learn to build applications, tools, and digital products using AI-assisted development. From idea to something real.
We teach women how to protect their ideas, own their data, and turn their knowledge into revenue. Not just skills — economic power.
The tech skills matter. So does the mindset. Every participant leaves with the business thinking, the confidence, and the tools to operate as a founder.
"AI literacy isn't enough. We're reshaping how women see themselves in relationship to technology — moving them from users to builders, from employees to founders, from observers to owners of their own data and ideas."
Interested in partnering? We want to hear from you.

"It was empowering, inspirational, and motivating. I would recommend it — to motivate other women like myself."
"As women, we are building ourselves and helping each other soar. I wouldn't have thought I could build an app in a few hours — I did."
"You could tell everybody feels comfortable and ready to learn. Any woman who wants to understand where technology is right now — absolutely, I'd recommend it."
"I learned I can actually be the founder of an AI company and build my own apps. From being afraid of AI, I'm very, very comfortable now."
"Tina made AI feel human. What once felt abstract and intimidating became something I could hold, use, and build with."
"Tara doesn't just lead — she liberates. She helped me reframe limiting beliefs I didn't even know I was carrying."

Founder, TecHer Forward · 25 Years Enterprise AI & Technology Leadership
"I've spent 25 years inside enterprise AI and technology — at Information Builders, TIBCO, Talend, and Qlik. I've watched technology reshape every industry. I've also watched women get left out of every wave.
TecHer Forward is my answer to that. Not just teaching AI — reshaping how women see themselves in relationship to technology. Every woman who goes through this program leaves as a builder, not a bystander."
Women, particularly from underrepresented communities, remain systematically excluded from AI and technology economies. TecHer Forward addresses this gap through structured, community-delivered programming.
Hybrid delivery. Community partner networks. Curriculum covering AI literacy, practical building skills, data ownership, and founder development. Designed for accessibility — no prior tech background required.
Participants leave with AI skills, a founder mindset, and the tools to generate income from their ideas. Our target: 20% of graduates generating income from what they build within 12 months of program completion.
