Women Who Code (WWCode) was an international nonprofit based in Atlanta that helped women pursue careers in technology. It offered a free job board for employers and ran thousands of events to build technical skills, including the weekly CODE Review, free study groups, hack nights, and programs for career and leadership development, plus talks by tech leaders and investors.

By 2023, WWCode had about 343,000 members in 147 countries and hosted more than 16,000 free events that year. It was founded in 2011, became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2013, and joined Y Combinator in 2016. Major sponsors included Google, Zendesk, VMware, Capital One, Nike, and Yelp. Julie Elberfeld served as CEO, with Alaina Percival as a co-founder. On April 18, 2024, WWCode announced it would shut down due to a lack of funding.
