About us
The first and only not-for-profit community dedicated exclusively to women in Private Equity-backed software.
Mission and Purpose
Our mission is to empower more women to step into leadership across the Private Equity-backed software ecosystem.
We believe talent should never be limited by confidence, circumstance or a lack of opportunity. That’s why SheSaaS creates opportunities for women to connect with peers, learn from experienced leaders and gain the confidence to apply for the promotion, negotiate the pay rise, secure a board position or take the next step in their career.
When women support women, extraordinary things happen, not only for individuals, but for the software businesses they lead and the industry as a whole.
Our Vision
To create a future where women are equally represented at every level of leadership across Private Equity-backed software.
Our Mission
To connect, develop and empower women across Private Equity-backed software through meaningful relationships, leadership opportunities and shared experiences.
Who is it For?
SheSaaS is for every woman building a career in Private Equity-backed software.
Whether you’re an emerging leader, a functional executive, a C-suite leader, CEO or Non-Executive Director, our community is designed to support you at every stage of your career.
Our members come from software businesses backed by Private Equity, creating a unique network of ambitious women united by a shared industry and a shared ambition to see more women succeed.
We are equally proud of our sponsors and male allies. Their support, participation and commitment to building more diverse leadership teams play an important role in creating lasting change across the software ecosystem.
The community for women leading the future of Private Equity-backed software.
SheSaaS is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated exclusively to women working in Private Equity-backed software businesses and the Private Equity firms that invest in them.
Private Equity-backed software is one of the fastest-growing and highest-performing sectors in business. Yet, despite its success, women remain significantly underrepresented in senior leadership positions.
SheSaaS exists to change that.
Our mission is to empower women to step forward, to apply for the promotion, negotiate the pay rise, take their place around the boardroom table and become the CEOs, executives and Non-Executive Directors shaping the future of the software industry.
We understand that career progression isn’t just about commercial success. Confidence, imposter syndrome, balancing family life, motherhood, fertility, menopause and the expectations women often place on themselves all play a part. That’s why SheSaaS creates a trusted community where these conversations happen openly, alongside practical advice from women who have successfully navigated them.
What We Do
Today, SheSaaS brings together women from across the Private Equity-backed software ecosystem through:
- Quarterly leadership events featuring senior leaders from across the Private Equity-backed software community.
- Roundtables exploring topics such as board readiness, becoming a Non-Executive Director and progressing into the C-suite.
- A structured mentoring programme connecting emerging female leaders with experienced software executives.
- A 12-episode podcast featuring honest conversations with female CEOs leading Private Equity-backed software companies.
- A growing network of exceptional women committed to supporting one another throughout their careers.
Sponsors & Male Allies
We are equally proud of our community of sponsors and male allies, many of whom actively participate in our events, share their experience and champion greater diversity across the Private Equity-backed software sector.
Building stronger leadership teams is a shared responsibility, and lasting change happens when everyone is part of the conversation.
Creating a Wider Impact
As a not-for-profit organisation, we pledge to donate all of our profits to charities dedicated to supporting, empowering and uplifting girls and women.
