Stellar, or Stellar Lumens (XLM) is a cryptocurrency protocol which allows transactions between any pair of currencies.
The Stellar protocol is supported by the nonprofit Stellar Development Foundation (though this organization does not have 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status) which was founded in 2014. The for profit arm, Lightyear.io, was founded in 2017.
