The Inner Circle

An ecosystem of female leaders

Most AI education is written for engineers or for beginners. The Inner Circle sits where our members actually work: making decisions about tools, teams and money with incomplete information. Education first, then advancement, then innovation.

{{ p.title }}

{{ p.body }}



Why this matters

Women who become investors in other women

The long game is a flywheel: founders who scale with AI, then reinvest in the next generation of women-led companies. Women lead differently, and care more about the impact on society and the planet. That is worth more today than ever.

What members say

Ines K.

I stopped delegating AI to someone junior. I now build the first version myself and then hand it over.

Ines K. · CEO, 40-person agency
Sara D.

Six weeks in, our monthly reporting went from three days to an afternoon. That paid for the year.

Become an AI-First Leader in 10 Weeks

We build a working AI system inside your business with you: your agentic team, your Leadership Brain and a 12-month AI roadmap for your department. Not a tools course. An operating system for how you lead.

The cohort
Small cohort. 10 weeks. 100% built.
Our work has been featured and shared at
TEDx Springer Barcelona Supercomputing Center Tech Barcelona
The problem

You know AI matters. So why isn't it running in your business yet?

You have tried ChatGPT, a few tools, maybe an agent. Nothing is connected, and nothing runs without you.

Your team is waiting for direction, and you don't have time to become the AI expert yourself.

Every month without a system, your competitors build the advantage you planned to build.

Insight alone doesn't transform a business. A system built inside it does.

Why this is different

Most programs hand you recordings and leave you on your own. We don't.

Everything is live

Many competitors run their programs on recordings. With us, every session is live, and everything is built live with you.
Got questions? We'll solve them instantly, allowing you to progress much quicker than learning on your own.

A small, intimate cohort

Other cohorts can be so large it's hard to meet anyone. With us, you work week by week alongside a small group of impressive and mindful women. You'll also get a buddy when you join so you can help each other to success.

We stay for 12 more months

Most programs teach you, then leave you on your own. We stay with you for another 12 months in the Inner Circle, making sure you implement what we've covered and keep learning new operational improvements with AI.

The promise

One system, built around your business

{{ card.text }}
From insight to implementation

“Insight alone doesn’t transform a business. The leaders who create lasting advantage are the ones who build new habits, redesign their operations, and lead their teams through change. That’s exactly what we do together over ten weeks.”

Is this for you?

This is for you if

  • You run a company or lead a department and have a team of 3 or more.
  • You want AI working inside your business, not another course to watch.
  • You can dedicate 3 to 4 hours a week for 10 weeks.
  • You care about leading with ethics and building for the long term.

This is not for you if

  • You want someone to do it all for you while you stay out of it.
  • You are looking for a list of tool tips.
  • You cannot join live sessions.
  • You care about only making money, not creating value for those around you.

We handpick every founder in the cohort on shared values, not budget.

The investment

What a seat includes

Most leaders already know AI matters. Few have a system that actually runs in their business. Buying each piece separately would cost €23,350, and you'd still be connecting it all yourself.

In ten weeks, we build it with you. Your agentic team, a bespoke AI roadmap for your department, your Leadership Brain and Daily Dashboard, with live workshops, 1:1 sessions with the founders, and a year in the Inner Circle so you never build alone.

€5,000+ VATBook by 1 November
Invoice to your company Pay in 3 instalments EU reverse charge for B2B

Bring a woman leader you'd like to build with. Her seat is half price. Two seats: €7,500 + VAT, in full or 3 instalments.

Why it pays for itself

Time and energy are the resources you cannot get back. The systems we build together are designed to save you both, and to pay for themselves within three months.

Conservative case

Save at least 2 hours a day, 10 hours a week, at €200 an hour. That is €8,000 a month, enough to cover your €5,000 + VAT seat within weeks.

Over a quarter

10 hours a week adds up to about 130 hours a quarter, worth €26,000 at €200 an hour.

Over a year

That is about 520 hours a year back, worth €104,000, and the system keeps paying out after the seat is covered.

Your seat: €5,000 + VAT. The agentic team setup alone is worth that. Small cohort, by interview, starting 2 November.

Our promise to you

14-day money back guarantee

If after the first two weeks you have done the work and it isn't right for you, we refund you in full.

Your data stays yours

Your data stays in your tools and under your control.

We never train AI on your data.

Everything we build belongs to you.

Your second brain TODAY

Scale

Your team works with agents, and you lead it.

Activate

Agents work where they have the biggest impact.

Connect

Your tools linked to your brain.

Capture

Your knowledge, written down once.

Capture, then connect your tools, then activate agents where they matter most, orchestrate them, and scale with your team. Each step stands on the one below, which is why we start this session with your second brain.

What you take home

Fundamentals that outlast any single tool.

The fundamentals that last. AI is moving fast, and much of what worked a year ago is already outdated. Your business context noted down in your second brain will always come in handy.
A clear framework for building systems that grow with your business: capture, connect, activate, scale.
Your first step for this week, and a path from you, to your team, to an AI-native company.
Who is in the room

Founders, CEOs, board members, managing partners, investors and leaders driving change inside larger companies. No technical background needed.

The session is free and there is no obligation. Many who come stay in touch through the Inner Circle, our online membership community, where the conversation carries on between events.

Zorya AI

Welcome to the Inner Circle

In Zorya's own mythology, three sister goddesses take turns guarding the heavens: morning, evening, midnight, always one of them awake. The Inner Circle works the same way: wherever you are in building with AI, there's always someone in the room who's a step ahead, a step behind, or exactly where you are.

Two members smiling and chatting at a Zorya AI meetup

Three ways it shows up for you

Each sister maps to a real category of value, not a decorative label: what you learn, who you meet, and what moves you forward.

Employer toolkit

A "How to Convince Your Boss" guide and a business case PDF members can send to their employer to get the membership subsidized.

Ethical governance

A draft team and company AI policy to prevent shadow AI, one members take directly back to their organization.

European tools focus

Mistral, Yurika and privacy-first solutions, built into everything we teach.

Never building alone

Paired up, and pushed forward

Weekly sessions

Community meetups every week

A live group session every week, small enough that everyone speaks. Bring what you're stuck on and leave with a real answer, not a to-do for later.

Buddy system

Your sister in the Circle

We pair you with another member on a similar path, someone with something to teach you and something to learn from you. You check in with each other, trade honest feedback and never build alone.

Bi-weekly challenges

Consistently learn & implement new solutions

A new challenge lands every two weeks so you and your buddy always have something real to build. Bring your questions directly to the group and get feedback back just as directly.

Online and in person

Mostly online, in the same room when it counts

The Circle runs online, so where you live never decides whether you're in it. Alongside that we host in-person meetups around Europe, and members get discounted access to those and to our bigger online events.

€49 / month

For anyone ready to join The Inner Circle directly.

Handpicked: new members join by application, to keep the room the way it's meant to feel.

3-month minimum: long enough for a circle to actually become one.

Rate lock: your price locks in the day you join, for as long as you stay. It's yours, even as new-member pricing changes later.

Rejoining: step away and come back later, and you rejoin at the rate current at that time.

Accelerator graduates

Already enrolled in the Accelerator? You're already in

Maja Zavrsnik is a growth marketer, founder and speaker. She grew up in Ljubljana, Slovenia, has lived in five countries, and studied Cultural Studies and Strategic Marketing Communication. For ten years she grew SaaS and hospitality companies across the UK, EMEA and the US, driving 350% growth at Factorial HR on its way to unicorn status. She later helped launch seven EMEA and Middle East markets for Beyond and doubled traffic and leads at Somewhere Crazy.

Three years ago her focus shifted to AI. She worked on an AI therapist that would be accessible to people anytime, anywhere, widening the access of personal support for people. Today she runs SheAI, a United-Nations partners of AI for Good and works directly with companies, organisations and universities to close that gap in practice.

She is also a founder of five ventures, all with social impact, a TEDx speaker, a two-time Mobile World Congress speaker, and has spoken for the AI Collective and Agenda for Change. As a speaker she advocates for diversity in AI, in hiring, promotions, data sets and product development.

Why Zorya exists

Closing the gender gap in AI through education and innovation

Zorya AI is an entrepreneurial network for women already running companies: technologically skilled, AI-native, building the next generation of businesses, transforming their business models from the inside.

The technology defining the next decade is being designed, funded and deployed in rooms where women are still a minority, and that gap doesn't close with awareness campaigns. It closes when the women already running companies have the fluency to build with AI themselves, and the standing to argue about it.

So we built the room we couldn't find: small enough that everyone speaks, senior enough that nobody has to explain themselves, practical enough that you leave with a system running in your business, not notes about one.

Both of us are Slovenian. We've built our lives in other European countries, Maja in Spain and Sara in Germany, but we're building this one at home. Women hold 22% of AI roles globally, 15% at executive level, and Slovenia doesn't have a single AI community built for women. We're building the first one.

The work itself stays international. Cohorts are cross-border by design, open to founders from anywhere: the questions just happen to come from markets that regulate, fund and adopt AI at very different speeds.

We choose who joins, deliberately: values fit matters as much as readiness. A seat here isn't something you can buy.

Zorya AI sits alongside our other brands, SheAI, Innervoices, Builders and Lingocare, which fund and feed it. Same mission across all four: put the tools in the hands of people who were handed a chatbot instead of a seat at the table.

Four values, in practice

Slovenska pokrajina, jezero Jasna v Kranjski Gori

Zakaj zdaj

Digitalna preobrazba Slovenije se piše zdaj.

Umetna inteligenca spreminja način, kako podjetja ustvarjajo, prodajajo, zaposlujejo in sprejemajo odločitve.

Slovenija ne potrebuje le več ljudi, ki znajo uporabljati AI orodja. Potrebuje več žensk, ki znajo z AI voditi, ustvarjati in spreminjati podjetja.

ZORYA gradi mrežo prav teh žensk.

Za koga

Za ženske, ki odločajo in gradijo.

Zorya je za ženske, ki že vodijo posel, ekipo, kapital ali transformacijo, in želijo razumeti, kaj je naslednji korak.

  • Direktorice, članice uprav in CEO
  • Management partnerke
  • Ustanoviteljice in lastnice podjetij
  • Investitorke
  • Podjetnice z delujočim poslom
  • Voditeljice, ki v svojih organizacijah vodijo digitalno in tehnološko preobrazbo

Ni pomembno, koliko veš o AI. Pomembno je, kaj želiš z njim zgraditi.

Podjetnice pri skupnem delu

Naš pristop.

AI-native pomeni, da je AI del načina, kako podjetje deluje.

Pri Zoryi AI ni dodatek. Je del načina, kako delamo, razmišljamo in gradimo.

Naše članice o novih orodjih ne poslušajo samo. Z njimi gradijo.

Delamo z AI vsak dan.

Vsako srečanje in vsak teden programa se konča s konkretnim rezultatom, ki ga lahko uporabiš v svojem podjetju.

Vsaka gradi zase.

AI agente, avtomatizacije in procese, prilagojene svojemu podjetju, strankam, ekipi in načinu dela.

Znanje ostane v podjetju.

Ne dobiš samo rešitve. Razumeš, kako je nastala, in jo lahko zato sama nadgradiš, prilagodiš in preneseš na svojo ekipo.

Partnerji in sponzorji

Gradimo z organizacijami, ki verjamejo v prihodnost.

Prva generacija Zorye v Sloveniji nastaja zdaj. Iščemo partnerje, ki želijo dolgoročno sodelovati pri gradnji novega ekosistema ženskega voditeljstva, podjetništva in umetne inteligence.

Dolgoročna partnerstva

Partnerstva, ki rastejo skupaj z našo mrežo in njenimi članicami.

Več žensk v tehnologiji

Skupaj odpiramo več prostora ženskam, ki odločajo o prihodnosti tehnologije in podjetništva.

Tehnologija v prakso

Podpiramo konkretno uvajanje AI in novih tehnologij v slovenska podjetja.

Odgovorna umetna inteligenca

Spodbujamo uporabo tehnologije, ki je praktična, odgovorna in skladna z evropskimi vrednotami in pravili.

Zorya AI

Mission Europe

Built in Europe, for women leading AI everywhere.


This is our manifesto, the place we point to when someone asks what Zorya AI is for. It paints a picture of why we exist, how we work, where we are going, and the accountability we hold ourselves to.

We wrote it for the ambitious women who build, create value, and lead mindfully, for the partners and funders who back this work, for the people who decide how Europe governs AI, and for everyone working to make Europe stronger in it.

Members listening during a Zorya AI session in Ljubljana

Where Europe stands

Europe has set itself a bold ambition. It intends to become a leading AI continent, to move from writing the world's most comprehensive rules to putting the technology to work across its industries, and to grow its digital workforce from 9 million to 20 million professionals by the end of this decade.

The foundations are here. Compute capacity is being built across the Union, with regional access points for everyone who works with borrowed infrastructure.

Europe's gender equality strategy treats artificial intelligence as a field of its own for the first time. An action plan aims to make Europe the most attractive place in the world for women in research, innovation, and enterprise by 2030.

Yet today, women hold roughly one in five AI roles worldwide and about one in six of the senior ones. Europe finds its eleven million additional professionals by opening the path for the women who are already here.

We believe that there's abundant talent in Europe; what it needs are systems that carry that talent upward, and a way of working as one continent on a question that twenty seven countries are each answering alone.

20 million digital professionals Europe aims for by 2030, up from nine million today.
22% AI roles worldwide are held by women, and 13% of the senior ones.
27 countries currently answer the same question separately.

What we are

Zorya AI is the place for women shaping Europe's AI. For founders, for women in leadership, for researchers, and for those deciding how AI is put to work.

Our rooms stay open across that whole range: across countries large and small, across sectors and generations, and across the many different paths that lead a woman to the point where she decides about technology.

It is about belonging among women who find someone at eye level here. And it is about craft: programmes, support through the actual build, honest exchange, and a home base in every country we enter.

We built the room we searched for. Small enough that everyone speaks. Experienced enough that every woman arrives already understood. Practical enough that each one leaves with something running.

The room is for women. The work it does is for Europe.

How we work

We start with the women who are already in motion, and we do so deliberately.

01

Strengthen

Women who lead today are Europe's early adopters. They bring the conviction, and we add the capacity to execute. Their decisions take effect immediately, in real companies, real budgets and real teams. We enable them first because they are the first who can pass it on.

02

Multiply

Each of them carries this into her team, her company and her country, and that transmission is what reaches scale. In every country we build our own team that leads the work on the ground, in the local language and in the local setting. We open our programmes, formats and tools to the independent women's, technology and founder initiatives across Europe, so that each of them becomes stronger at home.

03

Anchor

From the network comes infrastructure, which is the thing that lasts: shared programmes, open resources, reliable data, and a voice where decisions are made. Infrastructure is what reaches the whole of Europe, and reaches it for a long time.

From Ljubljana outward

We begin in Slovenia. The next two countries are Germany and Spain. In every country we build our own team with a home base, led by women from that setting, and alongside it a partner initiative that already works there. By the end of 2030 we intend to have a Zorya AI team in every European country, and the order of the steps after Germany and Spain takes shape together with our partners on the ground.

What we build toward

That AI capability reaches the women who are still outside it today, whatever their background, education or means. And that it comes to sit inside Europe's education and training systems.

European law now expects the people who deploy AI to understand what they deploy. That turns capability into an obligation, and it makes this the moment when serious training reaches women.

We work in the languages of the places we enter, because a European network earns that name by speaking many. And we intend that talent beyond Europe finds a way here, through circular mobility and partnerships that build capacity in both directions.

The same capability serves as protection. Systems trained on the past repeat it, and women meet that reality in hiring, in credit, in health, and in the rising volume of synthetic images and online abuse aimed at them. Women who understand these systems can name what they see, challenge it with evidence, and build differently. We treat that as part of the craft.

How we stand on our own

We carry ourselves through what we deliver. Membership and programmes fund this place. That is the precondition for our position, because a house that stands on its own stays free to speak.

We are open about the sequence this creates: those who invest in programmes make possible the open resources, partnerships and access that reach everyone else. We prefer to state that plainly.

An independent voice

Europe has strong initiatives for women in technology. What comes next is a shared, independent institution that speaks for the women who decide about AI.

We are forming an independent advisory board and a strategic council. Both will be appointed against published criteria, for a fixed term, and answerable to their own mandate alone. They bring together women from different countries, sectors and generations: founders, researchers, lawyers, policy makers and leaders from industry. Their task is to advise national and European policy, to publish what they find, and to make the case with evidence.

We will build them at the moment we can build them in full independence, and we will take the time that requires, because an institution that arrives free serves everyone, and serves for a long time.

Until then we earn that right. We take part in the European processes already underway, we support the commitments Europe has made to women in its digital economy, and we bring what we learn in our own rooms to the people writing the next set of rules.

Who we connect with

Europe already runs processes that address the same question. We enter them as a counterpart, and we bring what we see among the women who decide in practice.

National initiatives for women in technology

In every country we enter, we look for the independent initiative that already works there, and we open our programmes and tools to it.

Partnership on the ground

By the end of 2030

  • 1,000,000women reached across Europe.
  • 50,000women in the community.
  • 10,000founders and women in leadership with measurably stronger capability.
  • 50women in an independent circle advising national and European policy.
  • 1Zorya AI team in every European country.

We compose the independent circle the way the European Union does: every participating country represented, and a range of fields, from enterprise and research to law, education and policy making. We will publish how we count, in methods that hold up against European statistical practice, and we will publish the results as we find them.

The rules we hold ourselves to

What separates us from a consultancy is the set of rules we live by.

  • The advisory board and the strategic council govern themselves.
  • We publish each year where our funding comes from.
  • The independent voice draws its funding from sources outside the industry it assesses.
  • A seat here is earned.
  • We disclose any interest we hold in what we recommend.
  • The data of the women who trust us stays theirs, under European standards, in every country where we work.

Europe will reach its 2030 goals only by valuing women.

We would like to be measured by what we do, and by how well we do it.
