Scale Intensive
Stella Labs is a female-focused business accelerator where our mindfully-crafted curriculum helps women scale their businesses.
When you walk into Stella Labs, we meet you exactly where you are with your business. You have worked hard to establish your business up to this point and we are here to help you take it to the next level with our mindfully-crafted curriculum, expert instructors, and mentors to give you structured feedback each step of the way.
Join our 12-week Scale Intensive where you grow your existing business to the next level.
- Want to increase your revenue?
- Want to scale your existing business but don’t really know how?
- Want to finally “figure it out” and grow your business efficiently?
- Want to be part of a group of like-minded brilliant business owners?
We get asked a lot, “What does ‘next level’ really mean?” That is absolutely up to you. This course is self-fulfilling, meeting you where you are right now in your business. If you want to grow to have 4-5 employees, we can help you get there. If you want to pivot and go in a different direction but just don’t know how to leverage your assets, we got you! If you want to be the next app that revolutionizes the way your customers manage life, we will help you figure out how to bring that to reality through design thinking and our rigorous curriculum.
We have seen it all and have helped countless women do similar pivots, growth spurts, “go big or go home” visions, and all the myriad “colors” of business growth.
The “next level” is the next step in the growth of your business by fully leveraging your current business structure, capital opportunities, business development network, and market potential.
Requirement: You must have an existing company with a clear understanding of your target customer and desire to take your business to the next level.
