# Story Women Biz

Everyone has a story, right? Yes, we have one too, and although we’ve never told it in full, I’m glad to know we can share it through this channel.

In January 2022, the Peruvian blockchain ecosystem was growing rapidly. Women Biz emerged with the goal of empowering women and increasing their participation in the blockchain space.

On January 16, 2022, the first women’s meeting was announced, called: Women Biz Breakfast.

The only thing created at that time was a WhatsApp group to add every woman interested in being part of it.

You can validate the creation of the group in this photo.

As a result of this first meeting, we achieved the attendance of 29 women. You can verify it here:

Although these photos were not published, we made a video about it when we just created our social media:[https://www.instagram.com/p/CgN51NdgXcJ/](https://www.instagram.com/p/CgN51NdgXcJ/)

For many months, we continued organizing events with the goal of holding one per month, since no one was working full-time or part-time on the project. Given this context, we started as a VOLUNTEER organization, as we all provided our time with the sole objective of: learning, connecting, and inspiring.

The events kept improving; we began adding themes and inviting entrepreneurial women to donate their products as event sponsors since we never thought a community could be monetizable. Why? Because we simply never investigated it or considered it (our minds were occupied with other things).

This fills us with pride. Why? Because Women Biz didn’t start with the idea that we would someday receive grants or funding. It’s very likely that many people who enter web3 do so for what they could receive financially; many even tell their stories with trading and other activities. However, that wasn’t our case. Women Biz is a place where women connect to develop their full potential, always seeking to make a positive impact on the community.

Next, we want to present a summary of our first 6 editions when we were not yet an independent community.
