Your One-Stop Hub for Founders, Funders, & Partners

At Stella Foundation, we believe women deserve access to the right resources, at the right time, to scale and succeed. Whether you’re a founder launching your startup, an investor looking to fund women-led businesses, or a partner ready to support this movement—this is your community.

Why Women Need a Community—
By Women, For Women

Entrepreneurship and investing as a woman is a unique experience. The challenges, expectations, and barriers we face in business aren’t the same as our male counterparts. At Stella, we’ve built a trusted space where women can connect, learn, and grow—without fear of judgment or exclusion.

  • A Safe & Supportive Space – Ask the “embarrassing” questions, share hard days, and get real, judgment-free advice

  • Guidance from Those Who Get It – Learn from women who have walked your path—founders, investors, and experts who truly understand
  • Build Lasting Relationships – This isn’t just networking. It’s a sisterhood of women who will lift you up, mentor you, and champion your success.
  • Empowered by Experience – Our community is filled with women who have raised capital, built companies, and invested in female founders—and they’re here to help YOU do the same.

This is more than a platform. It’s a movement.
