We Are Stella

Our Mission

Stella’s Mission is to equip diverse female founders to launch, grow, and sustain their businesses, while also cultivating a thriving network of equality-driven women investors.

From ideation to funding to exit, women founders and investors look to Stella for its powerful constellation of support made up of an inclusive community, courses, access to capital events, advisory services and funding opportunities.

Our Vision

To Get To Even: Equal representation of female founders and funders across the venture table.

This year, Stella Foundation celebrated its 10th anniversary. To date, our organization has achieved many significant accomplishments such as helping women founders launch 162 businesses, scale 223 companies and raise more than $70M in startup funding! Also at the forefront of our efforts is Women's Venture Summit, which reached its 9th anniversary in September, attracting more than 225 attendees, as well as fantastic speakers and community partners.

Let's connect the stars, together.
