Access High-Growth, Women-Led Deal Flow

Investing in women is not just the right thing to do—it’s smart business. Women-led companies outperform their male counterparts, yet receive less than 2% of venture capital. Stella Foundation is closing the funding gap by connecting mission-aligned investors with a pipeline of high-growth, investment-ready female founders.
