Stephanie Campbell grew up running booking and apprenticeship systems in her mother's hair salon, which shaped her empathy for founders and belief in backing operators who deeply understand their customers. She serves as both a GP at The Artemis Fund and Managing Director of Houston Angel Network while chairing Houston Exponential's Investment Committee, positioning her as a central figure who sees deal flow from angels, institutional investors, and civic innovation efforts simultaneously.

• Passionate about funding female and underrepresented founders to close the venture capital gap and eliminate industry double standards. A frequent talking point is how backing overlooked innovators is an economic necessity rather than just a moral issue. For instance, pointing out the absurdity of advisors telling female founders to change their hair color to avoid unfavorable comparisons to infamous executives, questioning whether male founders ever face similar requests.
• Focused on the care economy, health solutions, and employee benefits that support families and aging populations. There is a strong emphasis on compensating caregivers and building better social safety nets. A specific example is the firm investing in a company that helps older adults age in place while simultaneously giving community members a sense of purpose.
• Interested in financial technology that democratizes wealth and promotes healthy consumer habits rather than predatory debt. A notable example is raising concerns about the negative impact of delayed payment consumer services on credit scores, while actively supporting inclusive financial portfolio companies focused on family savings and wealth building.
• Dedicated to actively promoting portfolio companies and helping them recruit top talent to build strong team dynamics. A founder can expect hands-on support in team building, as seen through repeated public calls to fill key positions like a vice president of engineering and a digital marketing manager for a fast growing portfolio brand.
