As an ecosystem, we offer tools and resources including our Si Her Co-Active, unifying and accelerating womxn and non-binary professionals, communities and businesses in the Web3 era. \n\n**IMPACT OPPORTUNITY:** \n**Data shows womxn represent 27% of the web3 industry** (BCGX’s **‘**[Web3 Already Has a Gender Diversity Problem](https://www.bcg.com/publications/2023/how-to-unravel-lack-of-gender-diversity-web3)‘ study, 2023). In an effort to provide more visibility and opportunity for womxn, we have introduced our siher.eth site template with ENS Domains and IPFS storage. Our members are utilizing this site to demonstrate their web3 professional brands and apply for job opportunities, accelerators, investment, speaking opportunities, and collaborations.\n\n***In February 2024, we were the 1st place winners in ArbitrumDAO’s minigrant series out of 28 applicants in the ‘Future of Web3 Identity’ category.* \n\n**Member’s SiHer.Eth examples:**\n\n**[Alex Overgaag](https://alex.siher.eth.limo/)**\n\n**[Aiamara Garcia](https://nemerie0x.siher.eth.limo/)**\n\n**[Iyanuayo Olajide](https://iyanuayo.siher.eth.limo/)**\n\n**INTRODUCING COLLAB COMMONS**\n\nTo further Si Her’s mission of accelerating visibility and opportunities for the diverse web3 ecosystem, we have designed a CRM and marketing system that will provide structure for partnerships and execution of collaborative marketing campaigns. We will be introducing this system to our database of (400) diversity-focused and led communities, NFT collections and DAO’s. **We will be utilizing Arbitrum for the blockchain functionality of the database within this system.**\n\n[![Collab-Commons.png](https://i.postimg.cc/VvMP5Gfh/Collab-Commons.png)](https://postimg.cc/q6k55GCc)\n\n**FINANCIAL INCLUSION OPPORTUNITY:** \n\n**Data shows men-founded web3 startups raise almost four times more capital than women-founded startups** (BCGX, 2023). In our experience and analysis, the majority of grant funds in the developer-centric grant funding ecosystem are also being directed towards men. In an effort to support more financial opportunity and inclusion for women, who often self-fund their projects, we are introducing our ‘Trade With Her’ 12-part learning series on crypto and DeFi-related topics. Our aim is to move our members into action and increase their earning potential within the crypto markets to support their projects, communities and well-being.\n\n[![Trade-With-Her.png](https://i.postimg.cc/ydZbTDMg/Trade-With-Her.png)](https://postimg.cc/62BcWp5t)\n\n**EDUCATION OPPORTUNITY:**\n\n‘**Learners trained with VR were up to 275% more confident to act on what they learned after training - a 40% improvement over classroom and 35% improvement over e-learning**’ (PwC’s [2022 US Metaverse Survey](https://www.pwc.com/us/en/tech-effect/emerging-tech/metaverse-survey.html)). Confidence for women is a large issue that many face, particularly in technology: 78% of women in the tech industry believe they need to work harder than their colleagues to show their value **([Trust Radius, 2021](https://solutions.trustradius.com/buyer-blog/women-in-tech-report/)).**\n\nIn an effort to improve confidence and learning engagement and retention, we are introducing our immersive education experience in partnership with female-founded Metaverse Tangra. Within this space, we are creating an inclusive educational and collaborative environment, integrating our tech ecosystem partners. As a part of this grant, we would like to include Arbitrum within our Metaverse world and introduce Arbitrum’s blockchain, grant and builder opportunities.\n\n[![Metaverse.png](https://i.postimg.cc/ZnjFPZ5v/Metaverse.png)](https://postimg.cc/FkdLmMch)\n\n**Si Her Success Signals:**\n\n1.  $5k USD grant from Livepeer (Dec 2023)\n2. $4k USD grant from ArbitrumDAO and first place win (out of 28 submissions) in their ‘Future of Web3 Identity’ category (Feb 2023)\n3.
