Collaboration Policy & Guidelines

About This Collaboration

SheCodesHerWay is a women-led, mission-driven platform currently at pre-seed stage. We invite passionate, purpose-aligned individuals to collaborate in building, shaping, and growing the platform. This collaboration is designed for individuals motivated by impact, learning, shared purpose, and real-world experience, rather than immediate monetary compensation.

Nature of Engagement

• Voluntary collaboration – not employment
• Participants are Collaborators / Contributors, not employees
• No employer–employee relationship is created

• Initial collaboration period: 6 months
• After 6 months, contributors may:
  • Continue for an additional 6 months (optional)
  • Conclude the collaboration
