What to look forward to
Factory, Sapienne, and Sequoia will launch the Factory Women in AI series with a hands-on workshop using Factory’s Droids to turn an idea into tested, working code, plus a fireside chat with women leading in tech. The event will build practical AI engineering skills, spotlight women’s work, and foster community through networking.
Inside the event
Join Factory, Sapienne, & Sequoia for the first Factory Women in AI Night. It's an evening for women who build with AI and for anyone ready to start. We'll have food, drinks, a hands-on workshop, a fireside chat, and plenty of time to meet the people around you.
AI is changing how software gets built and who gets to build it. This summit kicks off a series that helps women gain the technical skills that matter now, puts a spotlight on what technical women are shipping, and gives back to the community that makes this work possible.
What to expect
- Hands-on Factory workshop. Learn how to delegate engineering work to Factory's Droids. You'll take a task from idea to working code, then review, test, and ship it. Bring your laptop. No prior Factory experience needed.
- Fireside chat. A conversation with women leading in tech about their careers, how they build teams, and where AI is taking the work.
- Networking, food, and drinks.
Space is limited. RSVP to save your spot.

- Learn. Build the technical skills that matter in the age of AI.
- Celebrate. Spotlight what technical women are building.
- Give back. Invest in the community that lifts us up.

About Sequoia
Sequoia helps daring founders build legendary companies from idea to IPO and beyond. Our expertise comes from nearly 50 years of working with legendary founders like Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Larry Page, Jan Koum, Brian Chesky, Tony Xu, Lin Qiao, Eric Yuan, Christina Cacioppo, and Patrick Collison. In aggregate, Sequoia-backed companies account for more than 30% of NASDAQ's total value. The vast majority of the money we invest has been on behalf of nonprofits and schools like the Ford Foundation, Mayo Clinic and MIT, which means most of the returns we generate benefit these great causes.
