nice to meet you!
Hi, I’m Bella Pivo. Welcome to my corner of the internet!
As the former Chief Executive Officer of IDEA, Northeastern University's Venture Accelerator, I've transformed ambitious ideas into real ventures, managing over $100,000 in grants annually and supporting over 300 founders.
What drives me is making entrepreneurship accessible to those ready to take action.
My journey in problem-solving started at 12 when my sister lost her hearing. Instead of waiting for solutions, I taught myself American Sign Language, built an ASL club, and grew a TikTok platform to share this knowledge with others. This experience shaped my fundamental approach: identify a clear need, develop a practical solution, and scale its impact.
Today, I'm deeply embedded in the entrepreneurship space, serving as Outreach Director at IDEA and Co-VP of WeBuild at the Women's Interdisciplinary Society of Entrepreneurship. My approach combines empathetic search and design thinking to make venture building accessible and actionable.
Because the startup world doesn't need more mystery—it needs more founders who can execute with clarity and purpose.
