Our Goal

Women-founded startups raised a record $73.6 billion in 2025, two-thirds of it in AI.

Women are building the future in frontier labs, robotics, healthcare, energy.

FoundHer Summit brings that momentum into one room.

This is where the builders, researchers, and investors defining AI's future come together. To celebrate what's been built. To aim for what's ahead.

August 21, 2026 at OpenAI Headquarters in San Francisco, CA.

The Summit is for women and allies working across the AI ecosystem, including founders, engineers, researchers, investors, executives, students, creatives, policy leaders, and operators. Whether you are building a company, conducting frontier research, funding the next generation of AI, or exploring how AI will reshape your industry, FoundHer Summit is designed to put you in the room with the people defining what comes next.

FoundHer Summit is not just another AI conference with a diversity panel added in. It is built from the ground up around women shaping the future of AI across research, startups, venture, infrastructure, robotics, healthcare, energy, alignment, policy, and culture. The Summit combines rigorous technical conversations with founder showcases, investor access, immersive activations, and community-building experiences.

FoundHer House is an all-female builder community focused on breaking AI’s glass ceiling and creating new spaces for female founders. The community has helped bring the conversation around women building in AI to the national stage through coverage in outlets including The New York Times, USA Today, The Atlantic, Apple, and more. We have houses in NYC and SF, and you’ll be able to hear about what our residents have been building this summer during their demo day pitches. Applications for our next residency cycle open in January.
