Hack the Gap Book

This book highlights the diverse voices and perspectives of women and non-binary people in the Minnesota tech community. The inspiring people featured in this book are bringing their insights to established companies, building their own companies and leading the way for others—on their own terms here in Minneapolis, St. Paul and beyond.

These stories weave together, overlap and diverge in many ways. Some picked up tech skills that were completely outside their professional background. Some are mothers who are learning how to balance motherhood while building their career. Others risked everything to build the company of their dreams. But everyone included in this book is breaking down barriers to make it easier for the next underrepresented person to enter the tech space.

This book is bold and vibrant, just like those who are featured. The stories shared are honest; the journeys are insightful. These techies are showing the world that there is no one way to start a path in tech.
