Six years ago I started teaching women about crypto. I thought that was the goal.

But after personally training 30,000+ women across more than 100 countries—

After 16 cohorts. 8 SheFi Summits. Long-term collaborations with, Coinbase, PayPal, Aave, Consensys, Fidelity’s Center for Applied Technology—

I now realize teaching women crypto was only a small part of the mission.

The real mission is building a community where women show up for each other.

Today I’m proud and more than a little scared to announce SheFi Inner Circle: a career-focused membership that gets you to the next level.

Why I’m building this now

It was obvious what SheFi was about from the moment we came together as a community. In 2021, I gathered 10 women around a table. We were talking tech: wallets and DeFi and token strategy.

But then someone said something real:

“SheFi helped me pivot into a career in crypto. And that job gave me the financial independence to leave a marriage I’d been afraid to leave.”

At the time Porter Geer was on my team. We both looked at each other and immediately started crying.

That early gathering made me go all-in on SheFi as a community. I realized that getting us together was where the true power was. Not just in knowledge but belonging.

But as the room got bigger, the intimacy got smaller. We now have a global movement of tens of thousands of women. What we need isn’t just better content and bigger sponsors. We need more of what makes SheFi truly magical: knowing the woman next to you.

I've been hearing this for two years. So I'm finally building it.

What’s inside the Inner Circle

The Inner Circle is a career-focused membership for women already in motion. You have a career. You have skills. You might be building something new, but you're not starting from scratch.

You're looking for peers who meet you where you are now.

Here’s what you’ll get:

• 6 career workshops a year on storytelling, personal branding, and career, led by industry execs like Amanda Cassatt (CEO, Serotonin) and Lindsay Mason (Recruiting Lead, Coinbase)

• A peer pod of 15 women you’ll actually get to know, matched by career stage

• Monthly live group affirmation and intention sessions. Mindset is a skill. Creative power is real.

• Product and event discounts from Coingecko, Trezor, and more.

Who this is for

This is for women who want to get to the next level with their peers. Who know that getting to where we want to go can’t be done alone. Who know that it is in giving that we receive.

SheFi cohorts will stay the same. Scholarships aren’t going anywhere. I’ll never stop the mission of making frontier tech education accessible to all.

The Inner Circle is more. It’s the next layer.

Founding members

I want the founding cohort to be an intimate set of members. So we’re capping it at 200 women with a founding member pricing of $199 a year.

Applications close on May 15th or when we hit 200 members, whichever comes first.

Thank you for being on this journey with me.

I can’t wait to see you in the Inner Circle.

My Favorite AI Tool This Week ✨

The simplest AI trick I use almost every day: I have Claude interview me.

It sounds ridiculous. It works.

I get stuck on things. Emails I can't start. Decisions I'm circling. Posts that won't land. So I paste in this prompt:

"Interview me about [topic]. Ask me questions one at a time to help me think clearly. Don't give me answers. Just ask good questions."

Claude asks. I answer. By the end, I've figured out what I actually think.

It's not that Claude is solving the problem for me. It's that answering questions out loud forces me to articulate what's actually going on in my head.

Try it this week. Pick something you're stuck on. See what comes out.

Crypto + AI Roundup — SheFi Edition 🏇

Crypto Roundup.

• Telegram's TON Tech launched Agentic Wallets—AI agents hold and spend funds on-chain autonomously. Users fund a wallet per agent with a spending budget and can revoke anytime. Agents get their own money.

• Ondo partnered with Broadridge to give holders of 250+ tokenized stocks voting rights in shareholder meetings on-chain. Tokenized equity just got actual equity rights.

• DeFi United hit its rsETH recovery target after commitments from Solana Foundation, Aave, LayerZero, and Consensys. Solana lent USDT into Aave for the first time. Aave launched on Solana this weekend. LayerZero pledged 10K+ ETH to restore backing. For Solana to be healthy, all of DeFi has to be healthy.

AI Roundup.

• OpenAI launched GPT-5.5 and Images 2.0 on April 23. Codex hit 3M weekly users this week.

• China released three frontier models in one week matching Opus 4.7 and GPT-5.5: DeepSeek V4, Kimi K2.6, Qwen 3.6. DeepSeek V4 was trained on Huawei chips only—China banned all AI labs from using Nvidia. DeepSeek costs $3.48 per million output tokens vs OpenAI's $30 and Anthropic's $25. China has 3X the energy vs USA to power training. The message: "we have our own sovereign AI stack."

• OpenAI's building a smartphone to run personal AI agents—no apps, just AI. Continuously captures user data to feed ChatGPT. Targeting 2028 launch. Sam Altman tweeted April 26: "feels like a good time to seriously rethink how operating systems are designed."

SheFi Takeaway: DeFi proved cross-chain coordination works when things break—Solana helped Ethereum, Aave expanded to Solana, LayerZero committed real capital. China built frontier AI at 1/10th the cost on domestic chips, OpenAI's racing to own hardware before Apple locks them out. The race isn't about best technology anymore. It's about controlling the full stack—hardware, software, distribution—before someone else does.
