The Bridge for Billions is currently accepting grant applications to support the development of early-stage social entrepreneurs by providing mentorship, practical tools, and a supportive network to help their ventures grow locally and globally.
The Beyond Boundaries Program, developed in partnership with TMF Group, Focus areas, objectives, priorities, and themes include personalized mentorship, practical business tools, a transformative community, seed capital, network expansion, social innovation, and creating positive change in health, poverty, climate, and education.
The program also includes a seed capital component, where participants develop their pitching skills and prepare for a Demo Day in September 2026. Entrepreneurs present their startups to TMF Group experts for the opportunity to win one of three prizes, with awards of €6,000 for first place, €4,000 for second place, and €2,000 for third place.
Now in its third year, the Beyond Boundaries Program is designed to strengthen entrepreneurship by helping founders build solid and innovative businesses. The program will run two separate groups, one focused on Latin America and facilitated in Spanish, and another focused on Europe and the Middle East, facilitated in English. Participants benefit from a structured incubation experience that supports both local and global growth.
Through the program, entrepreneurs receive guidance from experienced mentors, connect with like-minded peers, and learn proven business strategies to take their ventures to the next level. The program emphasizes collaboration and shared learning, allowing participants to learn, share experiences, and grow together within a supportive environment.
A key element of the program is its transformative community, which brings together entrepreneurs, mentors, and TMF Group experts. This community supports learning and professional growth while fostering meaningful connections that contribute to the long-term development of each venture.
Participants receive personalized mentoring from TMF Group professionals who provide feedback and guidance throughout the program. Their expertise supports entrepreneurs in reviewing ideas, refining processes, and strengthening different aspects of their businesses.
Networking is an integral part of the program, enabling participants to connect and collaborate with other social entrepreneurs and a global network of professionals. These relationships continue to provide support and value beyond the duration of the program.
The program is intended for early-stage social enterprises, including those launched within the last two years or at the prototype stage. It is suited for entrepreneurs committed to positive social change, particularly in health, poverty, climate, and education, who are based in or originally from Spanish-speaking countries in Latin America, can dedicate 6 to 8 hours per week over four months, and have reliable access to the internet and a computer or laptop.
