Hey there — I’m Belvana Abeli.

I’ve spent the past few years of my career at the intersection of creativity, climate change, and technology, helping impact led businesses thrive. Over the last 15+ years, I’ve worked across marketing, sustainability, climate advocacy, and ecosystem-building — partnering with green start-ups, mission-driven organisations, and innovators trying to make the world a little better than they found it.

Along the way, one truth became impossible to ignore:
Founders with powerful ideas often struggle to tell their stories — and in the climate space, that story can be the difference between surviving and scaling.

So I built The Cool Mangrove — a climate-focused content studio dedicated to amplifying the founders and innovators building our sustainable future. It’s the home where I’ve merged my deepest passions and strengths: creativity, impact storytelling, and unwavering belief in people who are creating real change.

They say it takes a village — and I believe that wholeheartedly.
My mission is to grow The Cool Mangrove into a platform that doesn’t just tell stories, but helps green start-ups gain visibility, attract funding, build credibility, and step confidently into the rooms where decisions (and investments) happen.

Because when green founders thrive, our planet thrives too — today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.

If this resonates with you — whether you’re a creator, founder, funder, ecosystem builder, or someone who simply cares about climate impact — come say hello. I’d love to connect, collaborate, or dream up what’s possible together.

Coffee’s on me (wink).
