Kayra Metin

Founder & CFO

We created The Venlo Student Bridge

because I know how challenging it can be

to start a new chapter in a foreign

country. I wanted to help create

something that makes this experience

easier for students. I also take care of the

financial side of our project, making sure

we manage our budget responsibly and

can keep developing our ideas.

Karam Mansour

Founder & CEO

We created The Venlo Student Bridge

because I know how hard it can

be to start a new chapter in a

foreign country. We`re here to

make it easier. We wanted to make that

experience easier and help international

students feel supported. As CEO, I guide

the project, develop our ideas, and make

sure the team works toward the same

goals.

Charlotte Keuser

Founder & Operations Manager

We created the Venlo Student Bridge

because I often heard students talking

about the difficulties they were facing,

and I wanted to do something about it. We

had so many ideas and really wanted to

create something that makes students

feel heard, supported, and less alone.
