"These examples actually reflect what it's like to be the only woman in the room. Most negotiation advice feels completely disconnected from my reality."

Every year, millions of talented women accept lower salaries, miss promotions, and undervalue their contributions. Most don’t lack ability, they lack the negotiation skills and mentors to back them.

Find quick answers to the most common questions about the project.
What types of negotiation stories do you collect?
We collect stories across all contexts - professional salary and promotion discussions, entrepreneurial funding negotiations, family and personal boundary setting, board and leadership conversations, career transition discussions, and conflict resolution scenarios.
What types of negotiation stories do you collect?
How do you protect privacy and anonymity?
All stories are fully anonymized before being added to our database. We remove names, company details, locations, and any other identifying information. Contributors always have full control over what is shared and approved before publication.
How do you protect privacy and anonymity?
Is this database free to access?
Absolutely! Our searchable database will be completely free and accessible worldwide. We believe negotiation knowledge shouldn't have barriers. While we offer premium mentorship and coaching services, our core mission is providing free access to women's negotiation insights globally.
Is this database free to access?
How is this different from existing career advice platforms?
Most career advice is generic or theoretical. We focus specifically on negotiation experiences with real, searchable examples you can filter by industry, situation, or challenge. Our research partnerships ensure insights are evidence-based, not opinion-based.
How is this different from existing career advice platforms?
What if I don't consider myself a "good negotiator"?
Perfect! We especially want to hear from women who feel they're still learning. Failed negotiations, awkward moments, and learning experiences are just as valuable as success stories. The database works best when it reflects the full spectrum of experiences.
What if I don't consider myself a "good negotiator"?
Can men access the database or contribute?
The database will be publicly accessible to everyone. However, our story collection focuses specifically on women's experiences, as research shows women face unique negotiation challenges that haven't been comprehensively studied.
Can men access the database or contribute?
What makes your research approach different?
We combine startup speed with academic rigor. Unlike traditional research that takes years to publish, we make findings available quickly while maintaining scientific standards through partnerships with behavioral scientists and academic institutions.
