About Femigrants

Femigrants Foundation (501c3) is a Silicon Valley–born global leadership and innovation network of diverse female immigrant leaders in startups, SMBs, & tech.

It is a high-caliber ecosystem of immigrant founders, entrepreneurs, investors, business owners, Fortune 500 tech leaders, & global
tdiplomats.

Femigrants aims to elevate the voices and opportunities of successful immigrant and expat leaders globally

At Femigrants, we organize elegant, curated, and professional networking events and programs designed to foster real partnerships, capital access, and strategic cross-border collaboration for global immigrant and expat leaders—delivering opportunities that no cold outreach or generic conference can match.

Join the Community

Our community was founded by Aytakin Aliyeva, who moved to Silicon Valley with just $300, begging for low-income jobs despite her Western education and successful career back in her home country.

She had no access to the global leaders’ networks or financial resources that could accelerate her career or business idea.

Coming to Silicon Valley with big hopes and the American Dream, Aytakin found herself in a devastating position, begging for low-paid jobs in Silicon Valley.

Without connections to guide her path, it took her five years to secure her first corporate role that matched her experience and background. The isolation, rejections, and closed doors she faced became the catalyst for building something transformational.

Born from one woman’s determination, Femigrants has evolved into a trusted global network of accomplished immigrant leaders—united through support, investment, sponsorship, and strategic partnerships.

Now, Femigrants provides global immigrant women with access to Fortune 500 tech leaders, global entrepreneurs, founders, funders, venture capitalists, angel investors, sponsors, strategic partners, diplomats, and government officials through elegant, sophisticated, and memorable event experiences.

At Femigrants, we rise together through the power of authentic connection, shared wisdom, and mutual support.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Femigrants Foundation is an inclusive platform of immigrant leaders coming together to collaborate, support each other’s growth, and create opportunities that elevate careers and scale businesses globally.
