About

For women
that work hard,
and grow with intention.

Soft Landing is a New York City community built for women in tech who are done performing at networking events and ready for real professional community.

We create intentional spaces to reset, think clearly, and build strong relationships without the pressure to pitch, prove, or pretend. Because your best career moves happen when you can show up as yourself.

Founded in NYC. Built on honesty, warmth, and a shared refusal to confuse burnout with ambition.

Events

We host events across three pillars — Reset, Connect, and Career — so you can choose the kind of support you need in the moment.

What We Believe
01

Ambition needs a support system

Ambitious careers aren't built alone. The right people can open doors, share hard-won knowledge, make introductions, and help you move faster.

02

Rest is part of the work

Recovery isn't the opposite of ambition. It's what makes ambition sustainable, giving you the clarity, energy, and perspective to keep going.

03

Community should create opportunity

We're not here to collect contacts. We're here to build relationships that lead somewhere: a new job, a founder introduction, an investor conversation, a collaboration, or simply the person who picks up the phone when you need one.

04

Women should make room for women

There is no shortage of talented women. We want to make it easier for more of them to be seen, supported, funded, promoted, and connected to the opportunities they've earned.

05

You can be ambitious without performing ambition

We care about doing meaningful work, building great companies, advancing our careers, and having big goals. We just don't believe you need to burn yourself out, or pretend everything is perfect, to do it.
