The digital money revolution was happening with or without women. But one woman refused to let it happen without them. Meet Maggie Love, the founder of SheFi, who turned a concerning gap into a global movement that’s empowering thousands of women to claim their place in Web3.
How It All Started
Back in 2019, Maggie Love noticed something wrong.
Maggie had been working in Web3 since 2017,
She saw how fast decentralized finance (DeFi) was growing, but she also saw a big gap: very few women were part of it.
Maggie realized that for Web3 to truly be fair and open to everyone, women had to be involved. If not, there was a real chance that the money world of Web3 would end up just like the old one, where women often faced financial disadvantages
This worry led her to start SheFi in 2020, based on one strong belief: the future belongs to everyone.
What Makes SheFi Special
SheFi isn’t like other crypto schools. It’s a complete learning system made just for women and non-binary people who want to understand Web3. The program mixes three important things that most tech education misses: learning, trying things out, and real community support.
The main program is an 8-week course that turns complete beginners into confident Web3 users. But unlike scary technical courses that assume you already know stuff, SheFi breaks down hard concepts into simple, practical lessons that anyone can understand.
Students learn about everything from basic building blocks like blockchains, exchanges, and wallets, to more advanced topics like stablecoins, lending, NFTs, DAOs and Web3 social media. Every topic gets taught through live classes, hands-on practice, and real experiments that build true confidence.
Through this full program, SheFi makes sure its members learn both the ideas and how to actually use Web3 technology. This helps them become confident and knowledgeable users of the Web3 world, ready for new career paths and opportunities in this growing field.
More Than Learning: A Worldwide Family
What really makes SheFi different is its amazing global community. With over 9000 members in 98+ countries, SheFi has built something incredible: a worldwide network of women helping each other succeed in new technologies.
The results speak for themselves. Since 2020, SheFi has:
- Finished 13 groups of students with the 14th happening now
- Taught over 9000 people from 98+ nations
- Built a social media following of 29,000+ people
- Created over 70 hours of content with 21 local chapter leaders
Members don’t just learn alone. They connect through community chat groups, join virtual events, attend monthly career workshops, and meet up at events around the world.
Big Web3 companies like Lens Protocol, Zerion, Aave, and Pyth have sponsored the program, showing that the industry recognizes how important SheFi’s work is.
Real Practice and Recognition
SheFi goes beyond just theory with fun blockchain activities. Students earn “Planets” (class certificates as NFTs) and “Astral Achievements” (quest certificates as NFTs) as they learn, making Web3 concepts feel real and fun.
The program has earned respect from big institutions. Maggie has taught SheFi courses at Google, United Talent Agency, and Oxford Business School, proving that this woman-led program is changing how professionals learn about Web3.
Building Confidence with Positive Thinking
Maybe most uniquely, every SheFi class starts with positive statements designed to build self-confidence. This isn’t just feel-good talk; it’s based on science showing that saying positive things about yourself regularly can actually change your brain to focus on your strengths, boost confidence, and help you keep growing.
“You Can Do It!” isn’t just SheFi’s saying; it’s built into every part of learning through three main ideas:
Belief: Building curiosity, self-belief, clear goals, and positive self-talk
Commitment: Creating commitment, practice, bounce-back ability, never giving up, and determination
Engagement: Encouraging active participation, asking good questions, taking on challenges, asking for help, and teaching others
The SheFi Summit Experience
The community goes beyond online classrooms through SheFi Summits, women-focused events held in major cities worldwide. These aren’t typical tech conferences; they’re immersive experiences where women connect, learn, and celebrate their wins together.
Recent events have drawn big crowds: 300+ people in Paris (90% women) and 400+ people in Denver (90% women). The next summit in Brooklyn, New York will continue bringing together diverse women excited about Web3’s potential.
Making It Affordable for Everyone
Even though SheFi offers high-quality education, it stays committed to being affordable. The full program costs $799, but scholarships are available to make sure money problems don’t stop motivated women from joining. This commitment to including everyone reflects SheFi’s main mission: making sure Web3’s future gets built by diverse voices.
