I had the most engaging mentorship… 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.

Bridge For Billions is a very great experience…It is a response to the barriers that the entrepreneur goes through, and offers access to knowledge that is usually limited to very few. 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!

B4B Incubation for Early Stage Entrepreneurs: A Must for Every Entrepreneur 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.

Tribe of moon shooters. 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.

Feedback on the Incubation Program by YY Goshti 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.
