Today, we want to take a moment to celebrate Natalia Rivas, our Founder’s Associate, who joined us earlier this year. As she prepares to embark on her next chapter, we’d like to reflect on the incredible impact she’s had during her time with us. 🔹 What did you enjoy most about working with the founders and leadership team? I loved seeing how all the moving parts of the company—whether it’s the product, sales, or development teams—align toward our overarching goals. Being part of such a talented team, especially one that has achieved significant milestones for a seed-stage company, like signing a FTSE 100 company and Europe’s largest equity research house, is incredibly impressive and inspiring. 🔹 How did your experience in investor relations enhance your contributions to #StellarFusion? Growing up in Silicon Valley’s innovation hub and later living in NYC, I was inspired by the vibrant startup culture and its potential for transformative change. When I encountered Stellar Fusion’s mission to revolutionize equity research with AI-driven solutions, I was excited to bring this perspective to the startup side, as it allowed me to apply my strategic insights and investor relations experience directly to drive growth. 🔹 How did you stay motivated in our fast-paced environment? I thrive in a fast-paced environment; it’s where I feel most energized and challenged. At Stellar Fusion, the dynamic nature of our work—characterized by rapid sprints, visible progress, and strategic pivots—kept me engaged and motivated. What truly enhanced this experience was our supportive and respectful team culture, nurtured by our leadership team. The team’s mutual support made the challenges more manageable and strengthened our shared commitment to achieving our larger goals. 🔹 What is the most valuable lesson you’re taking with you? Coming from the VC side, where I evaluated numerous startups, and then experiencing firsthand how a startup operates from the inside, has been invaluable—it’s something you can’t fully grasp from the outside. These experiences have equipped me with a robust skill set that I’m excited to carry forward into future opportunities, particularly in high-growth environments. #employeespotlight #teamculture #EquityResearch

🚀 Unlocking the Future of Investor Relations 🚀   We recently attended The Investor Relations Society's, "Moving the Dial" conference and gathered key insights on the future of IR. Data-driven communications and AI are set to change the world of IR.    👇 Check out our key takeaways below!

Attending the Figaro Digital Marketing Summit 2024 on Thursday, 11th July was an amazing and personalized experience. I wanted to thank the Figaro Digital team for the invite and for gathering a team of insightful speakers. I wanted to share some insights from the sessions led by Jon Mowat from Hurricane and Jonathan Kelly from Candyspace. Here are my key takeaways and how they resonate with our work at Stellar Fusion: Jon Mowat highlighted the importance of rethinking marketing data metrics to uncover valuable insights. For instance, when evaluating video content, it’s essential to look beyond basic metrics like completion rates and reconsider the value of longer content. ▶️ Short Content: A 0.25-second ad with a 100% completion rate means the user spent just 0.25 seconds with your brand. ▶️ Long Content: A 15-minute video with a 50-60% completion rate indicates the user engaged deeply for 7.5 to 9 minutes. On Leveraging CRO to Drive Growth, Jonathan Kelly emphasized the value of customer-centric strategies: ▶️ "Everyone uses data, but not everyone speaks to their customers.” Dare to dig deeper, much like Jon Mowat’s approach to understanding and creating new metrics. ▶️ Embrace Complexity: The more you impact the user experience directly, the greater the potential uplift. Dare to push harder. At Stellar Fusion, our product, design, and tech teams are deeply committed to understanding the customer journey and enhancing user experience. Just as Jonathan Kelly mentioned, we embrace complexity and innovation to revolutionize the experience of equity research analysis and empower IROs to gain visibility and take control of their financial narrative.

Last week, Darlane Batista and I attended CONFIG in San Francisco. It was a very exciting and inspiring experience for us. It was fantastic for us as professionals to be immersed in our community, connect with fellow designers, sharing experiences, and getting inspired to keep making impact with design. Some quick takeaways that are valuable to highlight: 📌 Figma's new AI features: Figma announced mind-blowing AI features that promise to enhance our design process and save time on prototyping.They also improved Dev Mode, which will be super helpful for collaborating with the dev team and getting styling implemented more efficiently. 📌 Launch of Figma Slides: Figma's new product, Figma Slides, allows us to embed interactive prototypes in presentations. This will be a game-changer for startups like ours, enabling us to share our product vision through immersive experiences. 📌 Insightful Talks: The talks touched a lot on the AI hype (and how overloaded it's getting), focusing on delivering a better quality experience for our customers, and offering great insights about the new era of product management, like paying attention to how your customers are hacking your product (just like how Figma Slides came about). We are looking forward to putting our learnings into practice with our team at Stellar Fusion. #CONFIG2024 #Figma

🌟 Meet Charlie Mortimer, Our Co-Founder and CFO 🌟 Charlie Mortimer is the leader of our financial modeling team in Bangalore. He has been instrumental in driving Stellar Fusion's financial strategy and growth. Let's dive into his daily life, challenges, achievements, vision for the future, and personal inspirations. 🔵 What does a day as Stellar Fusion's CFO look like? "Mornings are strictly reserved for reviewing models that have been completed overnight and solving issues. I've had the privilege of working closely with all teams, so my days are filled with working on various projects with tech, design, and sales. The end of the day is typically reserved for admin, of which there is plenty, but one must embrace all aspects of startup life!" 🔵 What has been the most challenging aspect of your role, and what achievement are you most proud of? "We have reduced the time it takes to construct a detailed financial model by more than 50% in six months! This has taken a colossal effort from our tech, analyst, and design teams. We still have a long roadmap of upgrades to come, so that figure is only going one way. The progress of the team has comfortably surpassed my expectations." 🔵 How do you envision the future of Stellar Fusion, and what excites you most about it? "The tech we have built is not only applicable across regions and sectors but also to both private and public companies. This will provide far greater transparency in, and access to, the investing world. You can't mention the future without referencing AI. Combining our data lake of models and data with AI is a very powerful proposition that can revolutionize forecasting. Exciting times ahead!" 🔵 Who or what inspires you outside of work? "I've developed a taste for history podcasts and have more recently taken inspiration from the late 15th and 16th-century explorers in the Age of Discovery, who set sail into the unknown, risking life and limb! While often these characters were flawed, their bravery and resilience were remarkable."
