About Beela

placeholder

Beela was founded on March 8, 2021 by Juliana Araújo and Denise Muniz, both Brazilian immigrants to Sweden. After meeting at a tech fair, Juliana gave Denise the career advice that helped her overcome cultural barriers and land a job in programming. From there, they were inspired to empower underrepresented groups to break into tech.

Empower

We help women and non-binary immigrants achieve their potential through coaching, mentoring, and networking.

Inform

We spread the word about what’s happening in the tech world: bootcamps, code academies, courses, and events.

Inspire

We share stories about people who have built careers in tech. We want to help you gain confidence leveraging your skills in real-world projects.

Meet our team

We know from firsthand experience how hard it is to start over in a new country. All of us are here to support you.
