What The Tech?

Building Without the Boys Club: How Athena Collective is Democratizing Entrepreneurial Success for Women

Boast AI Season 2 Episode 94

In the latest episode of What the Tech from Boast we sat down with Mikayla Stewart, Co-Founder and CTO of Athena Collective, a platform and community designed to ensure that every female entrepreneur has the resources and tools they need to succeed—regardless of background or bank balance. 

Mikayla brings a unique background to this mission: she's served as a fractional COO for 12+ stealth-stage startups, turning chaotic early-stage businesses into well-oiled machines. More recently, she's been building custom AI-powered applications that solve operational problems without unnecessary bloat. At Athena Collective, she's channeling all that operational expertise and technical skill into solving a problem that has frustrated her for years: the systematic disadvantage female founders face when building businesses. 

Boast accelerates the success of innovative businesses globally with software that integrates financial, payroll, and engineering data into a single platform of R&D intelligence.
