Hi, I’m Stacy Havener.

Founder of Havener Capital. Raising billions, stomping glass ceilings, and shaking things up (cocktails included).

I’m a blue-collar girl from the Berkshires who combined a lot of grit with a little glitter to become a successful female entrepreneur in the investment world. Born in the ‘70s, survivor of the ‘80s, and still in love with the ‘90s, I’m obsessed with all things old school – hip-hop music, classic cars and vintage furniture.
