Nauta is one of Europe’s longest established pan-European VCs with 20 years experience, 100 investments and €550m AUM. Stella rejoined the investment team in London in 2024 as an Associate. Her previous work as an Analyst at the fund led to sourcing our portfolio company Spotted Zebra.

Prior to Nauta, Stella operated at Gaia, backed by Atomico, at the intersection of FinTech and Healthcare. She worked with the Operations team to run, report and automate risk assessments, payments processes and product testing. She also supported Gaia’s US launch through strategic research on their employer go-to-market approach.

Stella holds an Integrated Masters in Mathematics with Economics from University College London. Her Masters thesis applied differential equation models to evaluate optimal Covid-19 vaccine distribution strategies in collaboration with the Clinical Operational Research Unit. 

She seeks founders who are relentless problem solvers, leading and growing exceptionally strong teams to bring their vision to life. Her interests lie in Health, FinTech & InsurTech, Future of Work and RevOps.
