# Bella Pivo

> Bella Pivo (also Izabella Pivo) is an analyst at FoundersEdge, a pre-seed fund in Boston, and a creator with 108K+ TikTok followers. She helps founders and people building careers say what they know so others listen, through short videos, talks, workshops, and coaching.

Last updated November 8, 2026. Audience numbers are as of November 2026.

In her words: "you know a lot. you just can't say it yet."

She has been making content for 10+ years. At 13 she learned American Sign Language so she could keep talking with her sister, who had lost her hearing, and started posting about it online. At Northeastern she became CEO of IDEA, the university's venture accelerator, and founded Pitch-A-Thon, Boston's largest undergraduate pitch competition, which she still hosts.

- Getting heard: how to say things so people care
- Inside venture: what she sees sourcing founders, running pitch events, and reading hundreds of pitches a year
- Women in AI: where the women building in AI are, and why it matters
- Building in public: vibecoding, the tools she makes, and learning out loud with AI

**Workshops, each about an hour**

- Build your own AI chief of staff: an agent you talk to in plain English, no coding
- Build your personal website
- AI for non-technical people
