How it started vs how it’s going.
Amidst the chaos that was 2020, Gabbi embarked on a bold adventure.
With almost no money, she launched an accelerator program for the leisure marine industry, juggling her side hustle for nearly two years.
After becoming a qualified lawyer in September 2022, Gabbi went all-in on YV. She pivoted the business model from a simple accelerator programme by providing more hands-on support throughout multiple stages of growth.
Fast forward to today, and YV has evolved into a holistic support ecosystem for startups within the leisure marine industry.
