Women founders and investors are invited to join Stella’s “Mission to Money” by participating in the ninth annual Women’s Venture Summit on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 16-17 from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. PDT. Tickets were released today for the event, an effort that has helped Stella facilitate $71 million in fundraising dollars for women-led companies. The conference will return to an in-person stage at the Town and Country Resort located at 500 Hotel Circle North in San Diego.
“Women’s Venture Summit will address the conditions women are facing in a post-peak-pandemic world. This includes lower workforce participation and a squeeze on funding,” says Stella CEO Raven O’Neal. “We are serious about increasing female founders’ access to capital and giving new and seasoned investors the guidance they need to invest in more women-owned companies.”
After offering virtual attendance for two years, Stella will welcome individuals to an in-person event sponsored by UBS with access to high-profile speakers, powerful panelists and inspiring roundtable discussions.
Lectures, discussions and workshop topics
- Build Your Board, Build Your Business: Why a good board can be the secret sauce to your company’s success
- Giant Leap for Womankind: Closing the equity gap and building women’s wealth, power and influence

The Summit will also showcase the final round of the annual summertime Women’s Fast Pitch Competition.

Sponsored by Cooley LLP and The Impact Seat Foundation, the annual Fast Pitch Competition offers more opportunities for female founders to activate their ideas through structured funding.
