Stephanie Schneider, a partner at leading software investor Five Elms Capital, has been selected to GrowthCap’s Top Women Leaders in Growth Investing for the second year running.

The Top Women Leaders in Growth Investing of 2023 focuses on female leaders and offers a closer examination of those people who, despite being a minority, have triumphed via a combination of grit, willpower, and exceptional performance. Additionally, it calls attention to companies that have contributed positively to the development of more equal work environments for the hundreds of pension funds, endowments, and other institutional limited partners.

“Building strong partnerships with management teams and companies is at the core of our success in growth investing at Five Elms. I’m privileged to work alongside talented individuals who share our vision, and this award reinforces our collective commitment to driving transformative growth together,” says Schneider.

Schneider has been a part of almost 20 deals over her eight years with Five Elms Capital. Schneider, a member of the investment committee, will help Five Elms partner with expanding, founder-owned SaaS businesses and provide them with capital and resources to accelerate growth and solidify their position as market leaders. Prior to joining Five Elms, Schneider worked as an advisor to corporations and financial sponsors. On the boards of 10 Claravine, ShippyPro, Continu, Covideo, POWWR, Reachdesk, Skynamo, and Thousand Coffees she currently has a position as a director.
