As a woman in tech, I'm also eager to see more diverse leadership shaping the industry, especially since this an entirely new industry for me to take flight." Rachel Lee of Wellcrafted Startups said, "The future of technology is moving fast and I can't help but feel excited about what's ahead. What stands out to me the most isn't just the pace of innovation but how accessible tech is becoming. More than ever, people without traditional tech backgrounds are stepping up and turning bold ideas into reality. At Wellcrafted Startups, I get to see firsthand how visionary, nontechnical founders are bringing their ideas to life. The playing field is shifting and building a tech product isn't just for engineers anymore. It is about creativity, strategy, and understanding your market. The barriers to entry are lower than ever which means anyone with a great idea and the right support can take the next step. AI, automation, and scalable solutions are changing the way we work and I love being part of a team that helps nontechnical entrepreneurs tap into these tools. The future of tech isn't just about the latest advancements. It is about making sure more people have the resources and frameworks to bring their ideas to life."
