Bridge for Billions Reviews 26

This is an organization that will help you organize and put your idea into action. The level of detail is something that I would have not though off if I had decided to undertake the entrepreneur challenges by myself. I definitely recommend this Incubator to anyone looking to start a new business and expand their network.

For me it was a very good experience since in Bolivia there are not many opportunities like that, in some aspects I learned a lot and understood my business better, I could visualize it in a more tangible way.
On the other hand, if I saw that the platform had certain limitations in the financial area and way to calculate costs was very basic.
The service of the platform was excellent, Thats the truth, the answers were immediate and at the same time I felt real support from the team.
As a recommendation, perhaps it would be good to implement a model focused on e-commerce or electronic models.
I really liked how the plataform presented the options and the examples, were very helpful despite the fact that in some cases they were very basic. We love Parrobot!
Something that I liked was the benefits of being part of the community and the great alliances they have.

I, as a co-founder of QVidya Bangladesh startup, went through the Incubation Program facilitated by YY Goshti of YY Venture in Bangladesh. It was definitely a great program that helped us learn a lot of new things and guided us to analyze what we were doing. We corrected and moved on.

Bridge For Billions is a very interesting program for the time when the entrepreneur is taking his/her first steps and needs to land his ideas in a business plan and supported by a network of mentors. It really is extraordinary what you do!

The Bridge for Billions platform was a valuable tool in my business arsenal. It allowed me to deep further into my business and understand key points that I needed to understand in my business. My mentors helped me search for, analyze and organize data for my business. They also helped me learn how to verbalize what my business actually is. It was a great experience.

Amazing experience!! Great entrepreneurs from several countries and industries.
Good support from the Bridge team and the platform is a great guide. The Leap is a very valuable process in the entrepreneurial journey.

I get to meet entrepreneurs with great moonshots and helping them developing a business around these ideas is such a gratifying journey. I love to see ideas, teams and individuals evolve and taking on big challenges.

If you've got the skills for mentoring. You should join our tribe.

Love the concept but didn't have a great experience with my mentee/company. I didn't receive proper onboarding (not sure how I was missed), so felt a little unsure about how to proceed and give direction to my mentee in some areas. I was also disappointed at the quality of applicants and applications when I went to choose a project. Many were not filled out completely or well, many were also not really social projects (I thought all would be).

In fact, to start from scratch is an excellent tool, only improve some variables in some tools, to make them more accessible to less technological entrepreneurs, (Fixed / variable asset types, for example)
Great Tools and platform

For far too long I have struggled with transforming my social impact business idea into a visible business plan. The truth is, I am not a business student or expert with expertise in business plan development. But through the help of a Bridge Mentor and a well tailored and easy-to-use step by step virtual platform, I have had the privilege to transform my business idea into a visible plan without even considering the pursuit of a business degree as a prerequisite. My excitement about the virtual platform is the presence of a parrot that contains helpful information to enable the preparation of one’s work in a way that the mentor will not have a lot of difficult time reviewing.

In addition, the entire B4B program is unique and truly designed to help every entrepreneur realize their dream regardless of their economic situation and geographic location. I come from Liberia, a country devastated by fourteen years of civil unrest and a devastating period of Ebola outbreak that shattered the country's economy thus hampering my ability to afford the cost of participating in B4B incubation program. But through the innovation of the Bridge for Billions team, I was able to participate in the incubation without paying a dime as I was privileged to win the #GiftTheLeap competition where one slot is given to an entrepreneur who posts his/her business idea on Facebook and gets the highest likes and shares.

In my true opinion, B4B is truly an unmatched 20st century opportunity for early stage entrepreneurs wanting to transform their ideas into a visible plan and reality regardless of the status quo. Apart from just assisting you with the tools to transform your idea into a business plan, B4B also connects entrepreneurs with amazing mentors who can be true companions in the journey. The guarantee of this, however, is up to you, the mentee/entrepreneur, how you manage the relationship with your mentor during the course of your three to four months agreement and beyond. I am grateful of how my professional relationship with my human centric mentor, Izabela Serowik, has transitioned to a point where she’s now more involved with the work of my organization, Community Solutions Aid (CSAID), as she continues to play an active advisory role as a Board Member while contributing to resource mobilization through fundraising to enable the pilot of the our proposed Student Housing Program intended to assist rural students overcome the challenge of limited access to quality secondary education in their communities.

If there is anything that I can suggest to enhance the smooth operations of the Bridge incubation program, I would suggest that payment method(s) be diversified to include bank transfer as some inspiring entrepreneurs in developing countries lack access to PayPal and other options to pay the cost of the program online to enable their participation. Also, I will also suggest that there be some reduction in the cost of the program for entrepreneurs from low income countries to enable them afford their cost of participation as I consider this incubation a must for ever entrepreneur.

In my frank and final word, give B4B incubation program a try. I am sure you will never regret the time.

I enjoyed the program and got a lot more out of it than I expected. Still a few rough edges in some of the modules, but overall was a very beneficial program for me and my team.

Bridge for billions offers a good tool to startups but there is still improvements needed to be made. Some sections are very long and not relevant to some businesses.

Excellent tool to make your dreamed idea into a visual and real project. You learn to view and organize a business from start to opening, with help and constructive criticism. Happy and proud to have used it.

I had the most engaging mentorship sessions while undertaking my entrepreneurship leap program. I not only figured a way out for my business to survive during the pandemic, but also got to experience top notch one on one entrepreneurship lessons using Bridge for Billions business tool kit. I successfully managed to come up with an air tight business plan, which for many upcoming entrepreneurs, is considered the elite path to business sustainability and positive growth. And for that, I'm greatful to my amaizing mentor Andrea, and the Bridge for Billions team at large.

As a mentor for Bridge , I have found a good sound methodology to help consolidate entrepreneurs ideas. Good matching of mentors and startups. Good purpose and choice of projects. Keep up the spirit. Great international scope. It is a unique value proposition. Need to scale up and continue improving for B2B proyects.Congrats to the great team behind this initiative.

Bridge for billions was an amazing and insightful experience. I learnt a lot in the program and applied it to my business. Their platform is a great tool to help you and your business progress. I’m grateful to be part of the B4B community.

Felt like we went backwards in our startup, but we did learn some things along the way that were useful. We believe bfb would be valuable for someone who has just an idea in their head and no business experience.

I think it is a great platform , the methodology is quite good . There are some point to improve but nothing too complicated.
