The Inner Circle

An ecosystem built around how you already work

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.

Who it is for

For women who decide and build

The program and the community are designed for those already running a business who want to take the next step: from using tools to being a company that is AI-native.

Directors and CEOs
Investors
Solopreneurs
Leaders and managers
Founders and owners of companies large and small
Builders
Who runs this
“We kept meeting women who were told AI would change everything, and then handed a chatbot. Zorya is the room we wanted: senior women, honest questions, and the time to actually build something.”

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.

The promise

One system, built around your business

{{ pr }}
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.”

“Most companies are experimenting with ChatGPT. Very few are redesigning how work gets done. That’s what separates companies that dabble in AI from companies that compound with AI.”

By invitation

AI-First Leaders

From “AI-curious CEO” to “AI-first leader”
The 10-week accelerator inside The Inner Circle

In 10 weeks, we’ll take your single biggest pain point and redesign it around AI, so you enter 2027 with one part of the business measurably faster, and a method you can repeat.

The Inner Circle

Three sisters never leave the sky unwatched. Neither does this room.

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.

What's inside

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.

Morning · What you learn

Zorya Utrennyaya

Curated courses and resources chosen for this community, plus small, facilitated learning circles.

Evening · Who you meet

Zorya Vechernyaya

Casual drop-in sessions and themed workshops, with check-ins available at kickoff and 90 days.

Midnight · What moves you forward

Zorya Polunochnaya

A monthly grants roundup, funding and investor opportunities, and member pricing on our bigger events.

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.

Membership

€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

Every Accelerator graduate rolls straight into The Inner Circle with 12 months included: no separate sign-up, no gap in access. When the included year ends, membership continues automatically at the rate locked in when they joined the Accelerator.

What members say it actually changes

Not testimonials written for a landing page: this is what members bring up when you ask what changed since joining.

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

Six weeks in, our monthly reporting went from a two-day scramble to something that runs itself.

Sara D. · Founder, logistics

The grants roundup alone paid for a year of membership. The rest is a bonus.

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.

She then founded her first own company, Builders & Co. She thinks in systems and acts for the long term. She selects her projects by where solutions have the greatest leverage, socially and planetarily. Today she rebuilds established organisations around AI, develops new business areas and supports the founding and growth of new companies.

She is also a shareholder in further ventures, editor of five specialist books and co-author of others, a TEDx speaker and active on several boards. As a mentor she advocates for female entrepreneurship.

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.

Digitalna preobrazba Slovenije se piše zdaj.

Slovenija hitro raste na področju umetne inteligence. Kar potrebuje danes, je več žensk, ki vodijo podjetja, sprejemajo pomembne odločitve in tehnologijo uporabljajo za rast. ZORYA gradi prav to.

Za koga

Za ženske, ki odločajo in gradijo

  • Direktorice, članice uprav in CEO
  • Management partnerke
  • Ustanoviteljice in lastnice podjetij
  • Investitorke
  • Solopodjetnice z delujočim poslom
  • Voditeljice in graditeljice, ki v podjetju peljejo preobrazbo

Program in skupnost sta zasnovana za tiste, ki že vodijo posel in želijo narediti naslednji korak: od uporabe orodij do podjetja, ki je AI-native.

Podjetnice pri skupnem delu

Naš pristop.

AI-native pomeni, da tehnologija dela za tvoj posel.

Umetna inteligenca je del vsakega koraka pri nas: v skupnosti, na srečanjih in v programu. Naše članice o orodjih ne poslušajo, z njimi delajo.

Delamo z njo vsak dan.

Vsako srečanje in vsak teden programa se konča z nečim, kar deluje v tvojem podjetju.

Vsaka gradi svoje

Lastni agenti, avtomatizacije in procesi, prilagojeni tvojemu poslu, tvojim strankam in tvojemu tonu.

Znanje ostane v podjetju

Razumeš, kaj si zgradila, zato lahko to nadgradiš, prilagodiš in predaš svoji ekipi.

Partnerji in sponzorji

Gradimo s partnerji, ki mislijo dolgoročno.

Prva generacija nastaja zdaj. Iščemo partnerje za dolgoročno sodelovanje.

Dolgoročno sodelovanje
