About Her Skill Academy
Her Skill Academy (HSA) was born from a simple belief: ambitious women deserve the skills, confidence, and community to lead and build companies in the age of AI.
In 2023, we launched our first pilot inside Techstars. The results spoke for themselves: 90% weekly engagement, 100 NPS, and oversubscribed without paid marketing. What began as a career accelerator has now expanded into a platform helping women not only rise inside companies, but also launch companies of their own.
Today, HSA partners with individuals, organizations, and communities to close the execution gap—transforming big goals into measurable outcomes.
