Stella is a two-sided marketplace: people looking for recommendations and influencers looking to be paid for their passions. When a user has an advice request, say a recommendation for a first date spot, the user can initiate a message through the app, text, or email that broadcasts the question to the influencer network. Stella’s API matches the seeker’s request with influencers who are most suited to respond. Then the influencers with validated, domain expertise can respond in real-time for a suggested tip.
