I just wanted to take this opportunity and massively thank you for the amazing. There are so many highlights I can remember over the past year, particularly when you even brought in the Risk Director from Mercedes Benz for a fantastic lecture on how to be an effective leader. I've made so many notes throughout all our sessions that I still treasure to this day. It's been a really fantastic journey and I hope we can ofcourse still keep in touch!

Hey everyone,

I am so glad to have met you & to have shared a part of the bV journey with you! I loved our casual conversations, our feedback-driven atmosphere and the impression to always find a helping hand in our safe space of a Local Hub. Thank you so much!

Dear Meli,

thank you so much for your continuous support. I highly appreciated your "bias for action", kind words of encouragement and the wonderful atmosphere created during our Venture Coaching Group Calls. I am wishing you all the best- thank you very much!!

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you guys for ensuring I stayed consistent even amidst so many challenges. I easily could've given up and I almost did, severally. Your constant check-ins, random calls encouraged me to push through to the end and for that I can never stop celebrating y'all. If solid support system was a person, it'd be you guys.

I appreciate y'all and I wish you immense success in your projects.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't know where to start to be honest. We met at a time when I was really struggling with self-belief, imposter syndrome and my own personal health struggles. Through it all, you made sure I was comfortable talking about these struggles without shame or fear; I mean, what else could one ask for? From introducing me to strategies and connections that have been pivotal in my journey to listening to me rant about some tough days..you have been a solid figure of encouragement and growth. Thank you for the endless words of wisdom, good vibes and lasting life lessons you've shared with me. You rock !

# data[].attributes.body
I just wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your incredible support and guidance throughout my venture journey. Your insights, encouragement, and belief in my potential have truly made a meaningful impact on both my confidence and the direction of my project.

Thank you for trusting in me Abhijit. I am much more motivated through your support and I highly appreciate all the strategies you suggested me for my project. I promise myself to work even harder next year and try to make more progress. I am grateful I met you through BV and wish to be in touch.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you for seeing potential in dreams that were once just planted in our hearts. Your belief has become a compass for our purpose. You didn’t just fund visions; you revived faith in possibilities. You gave us space, courage and wings. This journey is more than a fellowship it’s been a soul-awakening. Thank you for being a light, a bridge and a home for dreamers like me.

# data[].attributes.body
What a rare gift it is to be on this journey with you. Each story, each voice, each idea you shared reminded me of the beauty of community. You've shown me that I’m not alone in wanting more for the world. You inspired me in your passion, moved me in your honesty and reminded me that change isn’t lonely it’s collective. Thank you for the laughter and the unwavering support. I’ll carry you all with me, always.

# data[].attributes.body
Where do I even begin?

You have been more than a mentor to me. You’ve been a light when my world felt dim, a steady hand when I felt overwhelmed and the gentle but firm voice that reminded me, “You’ve got this,” even when I didn’t believe it myself.

Your presence in this journey was no coincidence it was divine alignment.
You didn’t just listen; you heard me.
You didn’t just advise; you walked beside me.
And in doing so, you reminded me that I was never alone.

In the moments I questioned my worth, you reminded me of my strength.
When I stumbled through self-doubt, you helped me rise not just as a founder, but as a human being with heart and purpose.
You celebrated my small wins like they were yours and you stood tall for me when I couldn’t.

Andrea, thank you for championing my voice before I fully found it.
For clapping the loudest in rooms I was afraid to enter.
For nurturing my confidence with patience, compassion and grace.
You’ve left fingerprints on my soul — soft, steady, unforgettable.

If I build something powerful in this world know you are part of the foundation.
From the deepest part of my heart, thank you for believing in me.

With all my gratitude,
Forever your mentee 💫

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you for being more than just venture coaches. You were mirrors, guides and cheerleaders. You refined my thoughts without dimming my spirit. You challenged me kindly and helped turn scattered ambition into structured hope. Because of you, I believe in the strength of my voice and the clarity of my impact. Thank you for showing up with wisdom, patience and care. You made all the difference.

# data[].attributes.body
To my local hub family thank you for being my grounding space. In this journey full of bold ideas and brave plans, our hub was my safe cocoon. You reminded me that roots are just as important as wings. The support, the connection, the sense of belonging I’ll cherish it deeply. Thank you for being the soil where my growth began.

# data[].attributes.body
This Fellowship has been a catalyst for personal growth & change within myself, first & foremost. In the simplest terms, it has shown me that it's totally worth it to go through with something which at the outset might make me feel uncertain or unsure. It's worth it to be brave & to try something just for the sake of trying & doing it, even if you don't know what the outcome might be.

Maybe somehow it helped alter my brain chemistry & perceptions. But basically, it pays off to do things that seem crazy in the moment. Because that makes you more open to try more & do more things which previously might've seemed too crazy to attempt.

# data[].attributes.body
What an inspiring journey it has been to share wisdom, exchange ideas & insights, & continually surprise each other with all the things we have in common. Dr. Mo's adventurous spirit is absolutely reinvigorating & infectious (in the best way possible)!

Learning about the impressive diversity of all your professional experiences and life pursuits has been eye-opening, forcing me to look further outwards into the world to assess all the possibilities & opportunities I might have disregarded, to let myself be more intrepid & brazen in my approach to trying different things & tackling new experiences. Embracing the idea that it's never too late for a change, that you can do all kinds of things if only you don't allow yourself to get boxed in by your own & others' limiting beliefs or perceptions.

Our meetings have told my adventurous spirit that we must keep flourishing in one way or another! I hope we continue to stay in touch well beyond this Fellowship! 🌠

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you for being there whenever needed. You have been a rescuer in tough times, a friend with unwavering support, and a mentor. I truly could not have asked for more.

Dear Katrin,

Thank you so much for your constant support and encouragement. I honestly wouldn’t have even applied for the project scholarship if you hadn’t encouraged me from the very beginning. You are truly amazing, and your insights, especially those drawn from your founding days, have been a constant source of inspiration for me.

I really appreciate how straightforward and kind you always are. Thank you for showing me that this journey will involve more rejections than acceptances, but that every step will be worth the effort. Although we initially had some difficulty connecting due to our schedules, it has been such a pleasure getting to know you and having our conversations each month.

I am deeply grateful for the effort and hard work you’ve invested in helping me progress in my bV journey. Your guidance has made a significant difference, and I am forever grateful to you. All the best for your work at Hydrops Water Systems!

Lots of love and gratitude

You always say that you didn't do much and that I did the heavy lifting 😂😂 but I believe that you believing in me pushed me to do the things that I never thought I would do. I just needed one person to believe in me and you did that for me. I am forever grateful for you.
