01

first person, her words

Hi, I'm Bella! I love everything startups and helping founders become great storytellers. My story starts 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 suddenly I was getting brand deals, podcast invites, and opportunities I never planned for. That taught me early about building an audience: when your message is clear, the right people and opportunities find you. Becoming a creator led me to the world of startups, advising founders on social media, personal branding, and building in public! I've also been CEO of Northeastern's venture accelerator (IDEA), where I worked with 500+ founders, gave out $100K+ in grants, and started Boston's largest intercollegiate pitch competition, Pitch-A-Thon. Currently, I write about building in public and personal branding for founders while being an Analyst @ FoundersEdge, a pre-seed VC firm based in Boston.

topicwomen in aiwhere the women building in ai are, and why it matters. we have enough skincare brands. this is the lane my audience shows up for most.
topicbuilding in publicvibecoding, the tools i'm making, and learning out loud with ai. founders should think like creators, creators should think like founders. it's the same skill.
