Rani Vandevyere, a recent graduate in applied psychology, had a dream to positively impact the lives of young women. She knew that many young women struggled with discussing and exploring their sexuality in a safe and supportive community. Rani knew that she could help these women, and that's when she decided to start her own company, Onest.

However, starting a company is never easy, and Rani faced several challenges. She struggled to connect with the right target audience, create valuable content, and build a supportive community. But with the guidance of VIVES, Rani was able to overcome these obstacles and create a clear roadmap for her business.

With hard work and dedication, Rani successfully built Onest into a thriving start-up. Onest has provided a safe and supportive community for countless young women, resulting in increased confidence, self-awareness, and a better understanding of themselves and their bodies.

Rani’s story is an inspiration to other students who may not have pursued a traditional entrepreneurship education path. Her success highlights the importance of creating a supportive environment for entrepreneurs, regardless of their educational background. It shows that with a dream, hard work, and the right support, anything is possible.

Rani's Onest start-up positively impacted the lives of young women seeking a safe space to discuss sexuality. With our guidance, she created a successful roadmap. Rani's commitment inspires us all to make a positive impact and pursue our passions. We're proud to have played a part in her success.
