Ada Initiative Inc, based in San Francisco, was a not-for-profit organization that operated from 2011 to 2015, dedicated to supporting women in open technology and culture through various initiatives, including ally skills training and anti-harassment policies. Co-founders Mary Gardiner and Valerie Aurora focused on fostering gender diversity and empowering women in technology through workshops and events. The organization was instrumental in creating resources such as the Ally Skills Workshop and the Overcoming Impostor Syndrome class, both designed to enhance awareness and support for women in tech. Although the Ada Initiative ceased operations in 2015, its legacy continues through the freely licensed materials available for adaptation and use by communities aiming to promote inclusivity in technology and culture.
