WHY STELLA
It starts with giving women a chance. And we can help.
Since 2012, Stella has helped launch or scale nearly 400 female-founded businesses and has facilitated more than $100M in funding, which means:
More funding for women, who currently get just 2% of the funding pie in the U.S.
Innovation that improves the lives of women and their communities
Increased engagement for women in the workforce
Oh, and we can't forget... women ' s full participation in the economy would contribute $12 Trillion dollars. Just sayin.'

The incredible resources and experienced talent continuously come together for this event. I’ve been lucky enough to attend, speak, and invest in great people I’ve met at the Summit.
It takes a village to create opportunities for women to #GetToEven on both sides of the venture table. I’m thankful for my village and for the opportunity to even out the playing field.
Ahva Sadeghi Co-Founder SymbaThank you all for organizing such a successful Women’s Venture Summit. Our entire team celebrates the amazing recognition and award from winning the Women’s Fast Pitch. This opportunity means the world to us!
