Adriane Galea is a nonprofit founder turned business and scaling strategist, creative entrepreneur, speaker, and multiple podcast host whose mission is to help founders with big visions scale in ways that are operationally sound, human-first, and financially robust.

A lifelong entrepreneur, Adriane launched her first business at age 12, turning a small studio in her grandparents’ spare bedroom into an internationally recognized performing arts school and professional theatre company that served hundreds of students across multiple locations.

When the pandemic reshaped the business landscape, Adriane pivoted her expertise toward helping entrepreneurs build scalable, sustainable companies. She has since supported 6- to 8-figure founders in refining their messaging, streamlining operations, and developing revenue systems that allow them to grow without burnout.

Today, Adriane connects ambitious business owners with the knowledge, funding, and relationships they need to bring their boldest visions to life. Through Visionaries, she also created the Hey Helen Grant Program, a rolling grant initiative honoring her grandmother’s legacy and providing direct funding to women entrepreneurs through offering multiple $10,000 awards each year.

Known for her candid, insightful approach, Adriane blends storytelling, strategy, and lived experience to demystify the funding landscape for CEOs, empowering purpose-driven business leaders through the Visionaries mantra: work smarter, play always, rest often, dream bigger, and make bank.
