Flossie Hall is on a mission to help women founders raise capital and women investors deploy it with impact.
As an active-duty military spouse, Flossie’s advocacy for military spouse entrepreneurs landed her not one, but two invitations to the White House and partnerships with companies like Amazon.
Last year, Flossie took over as CEO of Stella, expanding her impact beyond the military community. The nonprofit helps women unlock access to capital to launch and scale their startups, while also cultivating a thriving network of investors.
Stella’s work culminates at the Women’s Venture Summit in San Diego in September. Flossie said the annual conference is an opportunity to put founders and investors in a room and “make magic happen.”
“We get entrepreneurs from ideation to seed, and we meet them in the middle with investors learning to invest. Then we put them in the same rooms together, we help make sure the women on the entrepreneurial side are as fundable and strong as possible. And then we’re creating as many women investors as we can,” Flossie said.
