Josh Hanosh is playing in this year’s Capital Cup with one goal: raise $30,000 for Women in Data. Thanks to an incredible community, he’s already at $25,467. Every dollar helps women build careers in data and AI through education, mentorship, and community. Just $120 covers a full year of Women in Data Scholarship membership for one woman, with access to 600+ classes, coaching, and a network that opens doors. Help us cross the finish line. Donate here: capitalcup.mightycause.com/s…
