Community

Part of something real

Befriend AI is a proud sponsor of ALE Leuven 2026. Dov has been part of the Agile Lean Europe community since 2023, attending as a participant, hosting sessions, and volunteering.

After those early conversations at ALE, Befriend AI was born. Sponsoring this year felt like giving back to the community that helped shape it.

ALE matters because it is real. It is community-driven. People show up honestly. There is no corporate agenda.

Dov Zavadskis, founder of Befriend AI
