Stella Foundation

Community - our community of over 5,000 people who believe in equality for female founders. In 2020, we began building a 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. Join our stella community to view all of our courses and events.

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.
