Stella Foundation

Women's venture summit is an annual event in its tenth year. The goals of the conference are to boost female founders' access to capital and to grow the number of female investors who invest in female-led startups. Founders and funders get to meet women from across the globe in a vibrant and intimate virtual setting to learn about and explore opportunities for increased funding and collaboration.

Stella angels - angels is our exclusive network of accredited investors. These angel investors review deals together, conduct due diligence, and invest in female founders sourced through our network. In 2021, Stella angels invested in 14 female-led startups, syndicating over $1.3m via direct investments and indirectly via syndications and crowdfunding.

Labs - all Stella community members are encouraged to apply to our intensive and specialized cohort-based learning communities to tap into our network of professionals, serial entrepreneurs, and investors with deep functional expertise across industries. While the strengths of our network trend toward life sciences and deep tech, we are positioned to serve all industries. Stella targets 50-75 high-performance women to serve each year through high-touch consulting and advisory programs.

Community - our community of over 5,000 people who believe in equality for female founders. In 2020, we began building tech-enablement to our services in order to reach people all over the world. Our digital community is free of charge and provides access to pre-recorded video courses, one-on-one advisory sessions, group sessions, mentorship matching, and features on Stella's media. The digital Stella community provides master classes in seven core areas with 59 modules with pre- and post-assessment in order to track knowledge and behavior changes. Masterclasses are available for both entrepreneurs and investors.
