What happens when a 28-year-old software engineer quits her job at a billion-dollar startup to solve one of real estate’s biggest problems?
Stella Han went from coding at Affirm to raising $5 million for Fractional - a platform that’s changing how everyday people invest in real estate. But here’s the crazy part: Will Smith and Kevin Durant are backing her.
In this conversation, Stella breaks down:

• How she got 2,000 people to sign up for something that didn’t exist
• The moment she realized 90% of Americans can’t legally invest in most real estate deals
• Why she walked away from Affirm’s IPO to start Fractional
• Getting into Y Combinator and pitching to 60+ investors in one week
• The SEC compliance trap that sends people to prison
• How normal people are now raising millions without being “internet famous”

Plus: The real story behind getting Will Smith and Kevin Durant as investors, why she chose a 4-year timeline over quick success, and the one question that determines if you’re ready to raise capital.

This isn’t just another founder story - it’s a blueprint for anyone who wants to scale beyond their own money but doesn’t have access to traditional investor networks.
Whether you’re flipping houses, buying rentals, or dreaming of your first deal, Stella’s breaking down barriers that have kept regular people out of wealth-building opportunities for decades.
