Hi, I’m Stacy Havener.
I’m not typical Wall Street.
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 70’s, survivor of the 80’s, and still in love with the 90’s, I’m obsessed with all things old school – hip-hop music, classic cars and vintage furniture.
How does a blue collar girl hustle her way to Wall Street?
In college, I was an award-winning writer, Academic All-American soccer player who took calculus as an elective and dreamed of becoming a literature professor.
Let’s just say my soccer ball bounced to Wall Street.
My high school soccer coach was the founder of a billion dollar small cap equity boutique. Coach knew I’d have to pay my way through grad school and offered me a job so I could earn some money and follow my dream.
I felt like an impostor, but I had a good teacher. Turns out my love of words and passion for story-telling brought something different to an industry that prides itself on numbers and decimal points.
Different works, dollars follow.
While I never expected to build a career in sales and marketing and certainly not in the investment world, I found my calling and my tribe.
At the age of 30, I took the leap to start my own firm.
I founded Havener Capital, an agency dedicated to helping boutique asset managers build, launch, and grow funds. In my career, I’ve raised $8 billion dollars that has led to $30 billion in follow-on assets under management.
We’re just getting started.
Most days you will find me in the office in Newport, RI, sitting next to my reggae-loving husband-slash-business partner. A Dunkin’ coffee in my hand, our rescue pitbull at my feet, listening to 90’s rap while sparking… a revolution.
Not only in asset management, but also for small businesses.
Wall Street is really good at one thing: making money.
The system I built to raise money doesn’t just work on Wall Street; it works for people running businesses, raising money, or trying to close more deals. Whether you’re from Wall Street, Silicon Valley, or Main Street, you can now leverage my two decades of success to increase your revenue.

LinkedIn is packed with potential—and I’ve experienced it first-hand.
