Stage Next Ventures

StageNext Fund operates as a network-driven venture capital firm, investing in high-growth technology companies. Its core strategy involves co-investing in enterprises led by seasoned women entrepreneurs who have already secured a lead investor. This approach enables StageNext to strategically deploy capital and leverage its extensive network, effectively supporting promising ventures.

Established in 2022, StageNext is led by Managing Partners Amy Millman, Joshua Henderson, and Debra Filtzer. Their founding insight stemmed from prior experience as founders and advisors at Springboard, recognizing a distinct opportunity to champion experienced women business builders. This foundational perspective guides the firm’s highly targeted investment strategy.

StageNext primarily supports women-led technology companies seeking follow-on investment and strategic partnership. The firm aims to become the premier strategic co-investor for these ventures, offering capital and network resources to foster their growth. Their vision centers on empowering diverse entrepreneurial leadership within the evolving technology sector.
