Bringing brilliant founders together
Founders
Stellar offers space, capital, community and resources to support brilliant founders.
Whether you’re an early-stage founder who is on the journey to building a category-definer, a founder who is pivoting to your true life’s work, or a multi-time founder who wants to be with exceptional peers, every ambitious trajectory is welcome here, and we’re with you for the ride.
Cohorts run for 20 weeks, from February and July each year, where you’ll be side-by-side with up to 30 of your peers and amongst an incredible community of support.
We’d love you to express your interest in our first cohort kicking off in 2027. Applications close on 11 November 2026.
Partners
We have an incredible community of service providers and mentors to support our founders and the cohort experience in unique ways.
We give founders and partners the opportunity to work side-by-side so that founders can explore what’s important to them and find their preferred partner, and our partners can build deeper relationships with the founders building the future.
We also bring our partner community together to build networks and opportunities.
More about our partners soon.
Alumni
Your experience with us doesn’t stop when you leave the office. Your peer and partner relationships continue as you build, and beyond.
Expect gatherings of Alumni, partners and friends on the regular. You won’t want to miss it.
About us
Stellar is Australia’s next home for ambitious founders of early-stage startups, and we’re excited for our first cohort to kick off in February 2027.
We believe enduring companies are built by founders with a transformative vision and the capacity to build it.
Alongside capital, space, and community, we help founders navigate the demands of growth and more intentionally shape the kind of company, team, and leaders they aspire to become. We do this through supporting founders to build their commercial and high-performance leadership capabilities, both of which we see as foundational to the founder-to-CEO journey.
Whether it’s their first company or their fifth, Stellar is for founders who want to build beyond what they’ve done before and create the generational companies of the future.
