Empowering & educating women in science, technology, engineering,
art, and math globally through NFTs.
What is the Trailblaze Collective?
The Trailblaze Collective is a social enterprise on a mission to empower and support women and girls in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) globally.
NFTs for Social Good
We create NFTs that represent diverse women and careers in STEAM. The proceeds made from the NFTs are what is used to fund education that can help women and girls reach their full potential.
Small Batch NFT Releases
Out of a total supply of 8,000 NFTs, we are staggering the release through smaller batches of NFTs to fund women and girls’ education, faster.
Redefining the Traditional Roadmap
Instead of unlocking utility based on the percentage of NFTs sold, selling batches allows us to fund top-level initiatives (TLIs)/utilities in every batch.
Creating a Community of Trailblazers
Our community is a safe space to connect and grow. As a community member you also help drive our impact through voting on charities to donate to and future NFT utilities to add.
OUR PLAN
Each batch of NFTs will offer a set of utilities/benefits that we call our top-level initiatives (TLIs).
Aside from our top-level initiatives we will have surprise utilities as well as utilities that can be stacked with other batches.
Top-Level Initiatives: Core Utility

CHARITY DONATIONS

Available in batch 1: 1 recipients
* If you do not identify as a woman or as non-binary, you may apply for a scholarship or bootcamp on behalf of a friend or family member.
Experimental Initiatives: Continuous Utility
Continuous utility is what we like to call the benefits that drive our community’s longevity and growth. Our NFTs are membership passes into exclusive community perks.
Some experimental initiatives we are currently working on include:
- Community Connection Hub for networking and mentor/mentee opportunities
- Experiential learning group sessions to work on open source code projects
Accessible Initiatives: Free Utility
Free utility is what we aim to offer all of our community members, regardless if you hold one of our NFTs or not.
Free utilities include:
- Access to career-building, leadership, and wellness workshops
- Intro to Web3 education and resource sharing
- Community of support in our Discord through STEAM-specific channels
OUR COMMITMENT
The NFTs we create focus on funding women's education and personal development. A portion of all proceeds will also be donated to charity.
UN SDG (Sustainable Development Goal) alignment:
Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.
Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all.
THE TEAM
Hello! My name is Mylene & I am a 4th year engineering student based in Canada. I am the founder and multi-hat-wearer behind Trailblaze Collective. Previous to hopping into Web3, I was a 2x founder, running social enterprises to B2B SaaS startups all with a common denominator of doing good through tech.
I joined the NFT space to intersect my interest in technology, art, entrepreneurship, and impact.
