She’s also the host of Build Mode, the founder survival guideâa podcast where founders and investors share real stories from the early stages of building. 3590She scouts top founders across 99+ countries, coaches them to pitch on the Disrupt stage in front of tier-one investors and global media, and uses that frontline vantage point to shape Build Mode’s conversations. Before TechCrunch, she designed and ran international startup acceleration programs connecting global founders with VCs and helping them navigate entry into the U.S. market. With a past life as a professional singer, she brings stage presence and storytelling clarity to help founders cut through the noise. 3591You can contact or verify outreach from Isabelle by emailing
