DISCOVERING & CHAMPIONING
THE NEXT GENERATION OF TECHNOLOGY FOUNDERS
Stellation is founded on the belief that passionate, mission-driven, individuals shape the future of technology and build life-changing businesses -- and draw others into their orbit. We bank on people as the fundamental atomic units of every successful company, even and especially at their earliest stages. Our investments are rooted in this belief.
Stellation has multiple layers of meaning. It's the process of extending a polygon in new dimensions to form a new shape -- just like we’re extending the potential of a founder into new possibilities. Stellation is also derived from the Latin root stella, or “star.” We're building a network of founders much like a constellation of stars, each aiming to contribute something positive and high-impact. These networks strengthen the founders within them, and the broader technology ecosystem.
