What do you think? "The businesses of female entrepreneurs who had early exposure to other entrepreneurs also outperformed those of female entrepreneurs who did not." At Stella Foundation, our goal is to put more women in the room, with other women who have been there and done that. Showing all women, they can too, be successful founders and investors.
