She Ships

Southwest Florida

Nobody ships alone.

A group for female devs around Southwest Florida. Just starting out or years in, pull up a chair. Bring the bug you’ve been staring at all week and the project you haven’t shown anyone yet. Someone here has been there, and she’ll stick around to celebrate when it finally works.

Learn. Launch. Lift.

A safe harbor for women in tech across the Gulf Coast. First commit or fortieth, there’s a seat for you here. We cheer the wins, share the bugs, and lift each other as we climb.

About the club

We’re starting the group we wished already existed.

There are female devs building software all over this coast, mostly in isolation. She Ships is an attempt to fix that. Four things we’re after:

Trade ideas

Bring the half-finished thing, the maybe-bad idea, the one you can't stop thinking about. Someone here wants to hear it.

Learn out loud

Nobody arrives knowing everything. We'd rather ask the obvious question in a room that won't flinch.

Find your people

Being the only female dev in the room gets old. Here you’re one of several.

Sharpen the craft

Code review, pairing, portfolio feedback, mock interviews. The unglamorous reps that actually move you forward.

Upcoming events

Meetups, workshops and hack days across the region: Sarasota, Fort Myers, Naples and everywhere between. Always free to attend.
