About

The community you surround yourself with will determine your success in life and business. I’m Stephanie Cartin, a serial entrepreneur, community builder, podcast host, angel investor, and your biggest business cheerleader. I co-founded Entreprenista, a media and membership platform reaching millions of women entrepreneurs each month through our content, business resources, and a thriving membership community of 2,500+ founders inside the Entreprenista League. After leaving my corporate job in 2012 to launch Socialfly (acquired in 2024), I discovered my true passion: creating spaces where women can connect, collaborate, and grow together. That’s why I co-founded Entreprenista Media, to champion women leaders through storytelling, access to capital, business resources and most importantly, community. As co-host of the Entreprenista Podcast, I share the real behind-the-scenes stories of successful women founders and leaders every week. We’ve featured powerhouse guests including Gregg Renfrew founder of Beauty Counter, Alli Webb founder of DryBar, and Candace Nelson, founder of Sprinkles and guest judge on Shark Tank. The podcast fuels the spirit of support and collaboration our community is known for. Beyond business, I’m also deeply committed to supporting women navigating personal challenges. As someone living with Multiple Sclerosis and who has experienced infertility and a complicated pregnancy, I openly share my story to remind others that they’re not alone—and that community and vulnerability can be powerful tools for healing and strength.
