Who it’s for
Oana Olteanu
shesready2.dev
I am a former ML engineer turned VC. I am passionate about helping as many women as possible get jobs at startups, grow in their careers, and ultimately start their own companies. My dream is to live in a world with more women who build and more women CEOs. I wish shesready2.dev existed for me when I graduated or for the many women, like my mother, who never had the chance.
Women's career paths are steeper than men's, no doubt about it. Naturally, women gravitate towards bigger corporations that provide more balance and stability. Talks about influence and growth in the startup world are received with skepticism by many women. After working at an all-male startup, I had firsthand experience of why that is. Because of that, I want to even out the playing field in the startup world so women feel more comfortable entering this space.
I want to show the art of possible: a diverse workforce that provides fairness and many wonderful opportunities and career growth for women in startups. I'm advocating for opportunities so people can help themselves and not for lowering the bar. ALL people belong in startups.
🩷 Testimonials
CEO and hire at Mimoto
The data scientist you introduced to me last year is fantastic! We recently promoted her to Lead Data Science. She’s now building out the MLOps and Data Science Team. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this critical member of our team!
shesready2.dev changed my life. I met my current company through the site and I finally found a place where I can truly thrive. It's amazing to have a place to go where you know that companies want women to excel in their roles. I feel so appreciated in what I contribute and wouldn't have found Mimoto without shesready2.dev.
CEO and hire at Preemo
shesready2.dev was a phenomenal resource for us and we were able to fill some mission critical roles with great candidates as a result.
For me, shesready2.dev helped me realize the space in which I can make an impact not just with my work but where I could step into leadership as a woman. I jumped into the tech world from academia with very little understanding or preparation for this new space and did not know that so few women choose startups. This surprised me because coming from an external world into tech, startups seemed to me to be the most flexible and intimate environment that allows for maximal growth and creativity, which is exactly what I wanted.
CEO and hire at Skyflow
The #1 problem I faced as a founder in hiring women was sourcing. With the help of shesready2.dev, I was able to go from having zero women executives to more than half my leadership team today!
In a world full of tech and privacy recruiters who charge to join a networking group, career coaching, or obtain a placement fee to place you in a role, it’s refreshing to have someone out there to naturally support other women to help them be successful in technology. Oana is clearly both passionate and authentic about helping women in technology, making solid connections, and building longterm trustworthy relationships.
And many more...
Hey, I just wanted to say that I came across this website and feel so SEEN! I'm so happy that someone who is passionate about this is committing to creating a world with more women in product and women CEOs. Thank you!
I followed Oana on LinkedIn and decided to join this community after I came across her posts on LinkedIn. She is using this community to get womxn access to what in my opinion are jobs and resources that are maybe unintentionally biased for men. While I have seen support groups for women in their own field, this one actively helps people break into other fields.
