Vision means nothing if no one understands it.
Vision means nothing if no one understands it.
I didn't start creating content to build a following. I started because I had something to say.
I didn't start creating content to build a following. I started because I had something to say.
At 13, I taught myself ASL after my sister lost her hearing and started posting my journey on TikTok. It grew to 100K followers, and content stopped being a hobby. By 14 I was making money from livestreams. By 16 I was signed to an agency.
I learned early what signal means: when you're clear about what you stand for, the right people find you. In my case, it meant more people getting access to the Deaf community and learning a new language.
Being a creator taught me something else too: creators are founders. You're the product, the marketer, the brand, the strategy. You figure out who you're talking to, what you stand for, and how to make people care. That's what got me obsessed with creator-led businesses and founder-led brands.
And that's what pulled me into startups. I kept meeting founders with ideas that could change the world but couldn't get people to understand them. They couldn't recruit the right team, couldn't attract the right believers, and I knew how to help them build signal for the right opportunities to find them.
So I ran Northeastern's venture accelerator, worked with 500+ founders, allocated over $100K in grants, and started Boston's largest intercollegiate pitch competition: Pitch-A-Thon. Now I'm at FoundersEdge, investing in pre-seed founders.
I love helping founders, creatives, and brands find their message, find their people, and find the right opportunities. If that sounds like you, get in touch!
I'm Bella Pivo. As an analyst at Foundersedge and content creator, I love exploring how founders communicate and build movements behind companies.
As former CEO of IDEA (Northeastern's accelerator), I worked with 500+ ventures, allocated $100K+ in grants, and transitioned our ecosystem to new technical systems. I've seen hundreds of pitches, evaluated countless founders, and learned what ideas actually get funded through the right teams.
I started creating content at 13 by learning ASL and posting to TikTok (it was Musical.ly for me!). Here, I built 100K+ following by making complex topics accessible and prioritzing mission-driven initiatives . Now I help founders with the same principles.
