What
Mentoring on demand was designed for women in tech by IT Girls Rock.
You can access one or more mentors for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
Our mentors are seasoned professionals from the tech industry, women who have navigated the ups and downs and carved paths of success through resilience and expertise.
We use our DREAM Compass to help you align your career with your dreams and aspirations.
When
We’re excited about some of the things we have in store for you for the pilot.
Our mentor profiles will be made public on April 22.
For our launch event on April 29/30, we have secured Susan Colantuono, a leading advocate for women’s leadership, author and TED speaker with almost 5 million views.
Meet your mentors in our fun and interactive “speed networking” session the second week of May when bookings open.
Why
Finding a mentor who not only shares your experiences but also understands the unique challenges women face in tech can be daunting. It’s not just about finding guidance; it’s about connecting with someone who can navigate the nuances of our industry with you.
Whether you’re seeking support for a specific challenge, looking for guidance through a phase of your career, or aiming to build a lifelong professional relationship, we’re here to facilitate those connections.
Gaps in Mentoring for Women in Tech
Are you getting the guidance you want and deserve?
While there are many valuable programs available, there are still some shortcomings in existing coaching and mentoring options for women in tech. Here are some of our observations and what some women have shared with us about the current offerings:
- Accessibility: If your company does not offer mentoring, it can be hard to source. Cost can be a barrier, and some programs may not offer flexible scheduling or remote options for busy women.
- Specificity: Existing programs might be too general, not addressing the unique challenges women in specific tech fields face (e.g., cybersecurity vs. software development).
- Matching and Suitability: Not all mentor-mentee pairings work well. Better matching based on personality, experience and goals could be crucial.
- Imposter Syndrome: Many women in tech struggle with self-doubt and lack of confidence. This is often exacerbated by people telling us we are not “enough”. Programs that directly address imposter syndrome from a feminine perspective and confidence building could be highly sought after.
- Navigation of Workplace Dynamics: Mentorship on navigating gender bias, office politics, and building sponsorship within companies would be valuable. This can be difficult if you work with your mentor.

The ‘aha’ moments came when I realized the power of mentorship and guidance. The coaching provided during the program was instrumental in shaping my approach and perspectives.
What Women in Tech Want
We’ve been listening, and here’s what we hear.
I’d love a mentor who understands the specific challenges of being a woman in Date / AI / Cyber / Product / Leadership / Engineering etc.
My company does not offer mentoring, where can I find mentors, and how do I approach them?
The cost of coaching programs is prohibitive. Are there more affordable options?
I can’t attend evening meetings. Can’t these programs offer more flexible scheduling?
I found it hard to trust the mentor I was matched with because they did not have the deep knowledge I wanted.
I was matched with a mentor who wasn’t a good fit for my personality or goals. Can the matching process be improved?
There needs to be more focus on overcoming imposter syndrome and feeling like I belong.
I’d appreciate guidance on navigating office politics and getting promoted in a way that considers gender bias
I’ve been paired with mentors at work, . I felt guilty for taking too much of their time.
I’ve never found formal mentorships to be particularly helpful, so I developed a network of women who have my back
Why Mentor on Demand?
I highly recommend and encourage you to join to discover your unique strengths and skills, and learn how to apply these as your unique perspectives and value in your work and life.

How it Works & What You Get!
Let’s shape our future for good.
Mentors are seasoned professionals who each have unique superpowers and can help you at any stage of your career and life in IT.
You can purchase a single session, or a book of sessions that that they can use as and when they like.*
We aim to keep the pricing at an affordable level that is commensurate with the mentees financial situation.
Our program and community is global, so our mentors will provide times that work for all time zones. Your choice.
You get access to the IT Girls Rock community with inspiring women as well as workshops and conversations that tackle the challenges for women in tech.
If we don’t have a mentor who suits your specific needs and situation, we will do our utmost to find one for you.
Based on what you are looking for, we can recommend the mentors that match your needs and can support you best in your situation. You choose.
We believe that women should be paid for the value they bring, so our mentors get paid a proportion of the fee.
The fee goes towards the running of the program, and part is placed in an equity fund that is reserved for scholarships.
Mentors have the option to contribute their portion of the fee towards the equity fund and scholarships.
Our mentees are trained on how to get the most out of mentoring, and our mentors are trained in our framework and supported through the program.
You get options to upgrade and tap into the group coaching and mentoring that we provide to our members.
