Elpha has helped me feel like part of a community while job searching. I felt isolated and the women of Elpha gave me a renewed sense of confidence and self-worth!

I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for this incredible platform that has connected me with amazing individuals on my journey. Elpha has been a valuable space for women to support and uplift each other.A special shoutout to @caseyonder, who I connected with through Elpha and who has been an invaluable speaker to the Launch School's Women's Group. Casey is fantastic—her wisdom, insights, and support have made a lasting impact on our participants. I am truly grateful for the connection and the opportunity to learn and grow together.Thank you, Elpha, for fostering such meaningful connections and providing a space for women to empower each other. Here's to more collaborations and support within this amazing community!#Gratitude #WomenSupportingWomen #ElphaCommunity

I'll share an excerpt of a post I made on LinkedIn in November, which sums up how Elpha helped me:"I joined a few online communities to expand my reach and make professional connections, notably Elpha, Tech Ladies®, and TechYeet. Unexpectedly, I found more than professional connections; I found new friends. In this journey of navigating the years away from my birth, I discovered that making new friends as adults is indeed possible.@CaseyCSimmons has been an incredible champion and partner as we work on growing the Boulder Elpha's group. Our recent 2nd monthly Happy Hour, even with just the two of us, was a meaningful exchange on job-searching, job-offer strategies, and life in general. It warms my ❤️ and fills my soul."

I love this, Elizabeth! I can't wait to meet up with you all the next time I'm in CO!

Iynna·Dec 22

You two have been killing the game, so grateful for you and your commitment in having a strong elpha community in the Boulder-ish area!

It's been inspiring to see so many incredible folks making new connections, forging friendships, and learning from one another through Elpha. It's been a tough year for most of us, and Elpha has done an excellent job providing support and encouragement. As a paid partner, I appreciate how easy it is to share new jobs and connect with women and folks of diverse backgrounds for the roles we have open at our company. My team continues to provide positive feedback on the quality of talent Elpha provides, and how simple it is to navigate the platform. To everyone on the Elpha team — thank you for all you do for the community. I'm eager to continue our partnership in 2024.

Josefina·Dec 21

Love working with you, Kim! Can't wait to continue partnering with you on content next year!

I am so grateful for being introduced to Elpha. I initially joined the community after hearing about it during NY Tech Week. I am developing an app without support in this space with my current Network. This is a new business venture for me, so I wanted to seek out like-minded people. Aside from the app development, I have an e-commerce shop called Born Savage, a brand for those in savage pursuit of their goals and dreams. Born Savage was added to the 2023 Elpha Holiday Guide and I could not be more grateful.

Iynna·Dec 22

we're SO thrilled you joined us! were you at our event during tech week as well?! We hope to do more of those so stay tuned!And congrats on this new venture, what is it and have you met some people on Elphas who were able to support you?YAY re Born Savage, hopefully it helped promote and generate sales!

Savage·Dec 23

@lynna Unfortunately, I could not get into any Tech Week events. I have not met anyone in the Elpha community as of yet. I am working on an app to help low to middle-income earners in the BIPOC community learn how to make $1 out of $.15 using the resources that they already have and working on a gamification component.

Iynna·Dec 23
