Our values

What we stand for.

The principles shaping how we build, collaborate, and care for one another.

Inclusion

Everyone has a seat at the table. No gatekeeping, no exceptions.

Courage

Try things. Break things. Ship things. Confidence is built, not given.

Community

We show up for each other, online, offline, and everywhere in between.

Well-being

You can’t build great things if you’re running on empty. Health comes first.

Community voices

What the room feels like.

“Her-Circles is a great networking event to meet other women from different fields and backgrounds. The location, ambience, and women were inspiring.”

Letitia

Her Circles participant

“HerCode is changing the outdated narrative that tech is only for nerds in hoodies. Tech needs everyone to participate, and this team makes hackathons more accessible and inclusive.”

Lisa Staehli

Supporter

“Zeynep's drive and commitment were instrumental to the success of the EY Women's Hackathon. The event brought together a highly motivated mix of professionals and emerging talent.”

Irene Geissbuehler

Assistant Director, EY Switzerland

“HerCode brings together some of the most ambitious, startup-driven women I've met, in an atmosphere that feels welcoming rather than performative.”

Onur Mehmed

VC at Redalpine

“By bringing together diverse, interdisciplinary teams, HerCode creates a welcoming space where innovation serves an entire generation to come.”
