Vanessa Hurst, co-founder Girl Develop It
Not many female role models existed three years ago when Vanessa Hurst and Sara Chipps founded Girl Develop It, which aims to empower women by giving them a safe place to learn about technology.
"We wanted to make a place where it was OK to ask questions," Hurst recalls. "Low cost classes, really accessible and no judgment."
