RESHAPING PERCEPTION

RESHAPING PERCEPTION

The way women are seen, heard and valued
directly affects how we learn and lead.

A New Social Contract

The workplace is not designed for diverse talent to thrive. Companies are desperate for female leaders, while young women are eager for dynamic careers and don't know where to start.  

What if we intercepted the next generation of women before the market has shaped them?  

We can with the MELD Method.

Financial Literacy

In today's world, financial independence is essential. MELD empowers Gen Z women with vital financial skills, covering everything from effective salary negotiation to building solid credit. Our program focuses on the fundamentals of personal finance and smart investment strategies, guiding participants towards a financially secure future through informed decisions and wealth building.

A Curated Network

Rooted in the power of connection to fuel insight and innovation, MELD shortens the distance to access and opportunity for undergraduate women.

MELD is a new approach to women's mentorship that breaks the traditional topdown, rigid and transactional structures and instead powers fluid and mutually beneficial relationships for all involved.

Professional Development

MELD focuses on advancing high-potential women via targeted professional development. Our programs enhance leadership readiness and career success, offering mentorship, skill workshops, and networking tailored to their professional growth.

Next-level Coaching & Connection for a New Generation

You can't be what you can't see. We are changing that, one woman at a time, through proprietary techniques powered by experience navigating rarified air.

The Innovation Economy

MELD offers a distinct perspective on Gen Z women, gained through comprehensive insights and data collected across the nation. Our deep dive into this demographic provides a unique understanding of their aspirations, challenges, and contributions to the innovation economy.

“MELD is more than a mentorship program. It is a transformative tool for generations to build upon access and opportunity that has been fought for before us - and for us.”

Katie McCormick Lelyveld

CEO Advisor,
Strategic Leadership Innovation Fellow at Harvard
and MELD Founder

“Gen Z women do not just want their piece of the pie. They want market share in the bakery.”



Angelique Power

MELD Advisor,
President of The Skillman Foundation

“I read that boys are raised to be brave and girls are raised to be perfect.But that means our stakes are higher to ask questions, to take risks, to fail. It’s harder for us to bounce back and keep going.”

Recent college graduate,
Founding MELD Member
