Gurvi Movement is a platform of mentorship & training, created for and by women.
We offer hands-on online one-on-one courses, led by top-female mentors.
Meet the founder
Only 25% of women are working in tech
Only 21% of women in C-Suite roles
Women take up fewer than 1 in 4 technical roles in GAFAM
🔍 The observation
Gurvi Movement was born from the (annoying) observation that womxn currently make up approximately 25% of the workforce in the digital industry.
These statistics vary considerably according to ethnic background. Indeed, among these women, we find only:
- 16% Caucasian women
- 5% Asian women
- 3% Black / African American women
- 1% Latin / Hispanic women
Also, we noticed that:
- Only 21% of women are at the head of an executive or management position (C-Suite: CEO, CFO, CIO, COO)
- Women occupy less than one in four technical roles within GAFAM (Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft)
Gurvi Movement believes it is time to close this gender gap in the digital industry and entrepreneurship.✊🏻🙌🏾👩💻
That is why we encourage women to join our international movement by promoting diversity, inclusion and equity in the digital world.
🎯 Our mission
Our mission is to highlight the issues encountered in the digital industry, to raise awareness of these inequities. We also put in place practical action plans:
- We offer one-on-one mentoring, in order to reduce the gender gap in the digital and entrepreneurship sectors.
- We advocate alternatives to the 9 to 5 routine, in becoming for instance an entrepreneur, a digital nomad or a freelancer.
- We connect mentees to female role models, so they can identify with their experiences. See It, Be It.
- We create a safe and diverse community to encourage and empower women in these sectors.
- We promote the values of diversity, inclusion and equity in the digital world.

IS GURVI ONLY INTENDED FOR WOMEN?
This movement is primarily intended for womxn*, with the objective of breaking the glass ceiling and invisible barriers that block women’s careers in tech.
However, we promote an “inclusive mentoring”.
Men can also be mentored by our experienced female mentors with the condition that they show interest of being more inclusive professionals, concerned with diversity and equality.
Our doors are also open to companies wishing to improve diversity, equity and inclusion within their organisation.
* Gurvi Movement uses an inclusive definition of “womxn”, “mxn” and “female”, and we welcome transwomxn, transmxn, genderqueer womxn, genderqueer mxn, and non-binary people who identify, have identified, or have been identified as female, mxn or womxn.
