Gaining Momentum

HerTechPath is a verified Australian non-profit (charity status) founded in 2016 to support women and girls in tech. While the submission contained significant inaccuracies (claiming 'most people' have used it and citing a $35M market cap), independent verification confirms a team of ~30 (likely volunteers/board) and impact on ~8,000 students over 8 years. The project has high social utility but operates as a service organization rather than a scalable technology product, limiting its technical innovation and reach scores compared to software ventures.
