Stardust Equity

Stardust Equity

Stardust Equity began operations in 2012 under Molly Gochman. The office allocates capital for a single family without public disclosure of the underlying wealth source. Its mandate centers on equity investments, fund vehicles, and arts initiatives that share an explicit focus on expanding opportunities for women and girls. Deployment spans direct co-investments, fund-of-funds commitments, and philanthropic structures. Confirmed positions include Bloomlife (Q3 2025 round with Kapor Capital, Mark Benioff, RH Capital, The Grove Foundation, and SOSV) and Devoted Health ($175 million round in January 2024 with The Space Between, Highbury Holdings, GIC, Maverick Ventures, and Fearless Ventures). Additional holdings appear in Wellthy alongside Citi Impact Fund, Cercano Management, and Rethink Impact. Geographic reach covers North America, Europe, and Asia, with stage emphasis on growth equity and venture capital. Team size remains undisclosed. Amanda Cloud serves as COO and holds advisory roles at Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees and Grantmakers for Southern Progress. Helena Hasselmann sits on the NAIC LP Advisory Board. A January 2024 co-investment in Devoted Health's round marked one of the most recent disclosed transactions. The office also maintains relationships with philanthropic entities including The Freedom Fund and Children's Rights. The architecture separates investment activity from grant-making and arts programming under a single principal mandate. This setup allows coordinated capital deployment across for-profit and mission-aligned vehicles without external LP constraints or succession vehicles disclosed to date.
