Turn more ideas into businesses.
We make it easier for cities, companies, colleges and foundations to activate entrepreneurs, launch and fund new businesses, and measure the results.
Why partner with B+B?
Reach more potential entrepreneurs
Engage people with ideas who may never enter a traditional entrepreneurship program.
Launch faster, build less
Leverage established programs, technology, and expertise instead of creating everything from scratch.
Help people make real progress
Move beyond workshops and events to help builders test ideas, find customers, and launch businesses.
Measure what matters
See who participates, what they accomplish, and the businesses and economic activity that follow.
Built around the people and opportunities you care about.
Whether you're focused on an industry, a community, or a region, we can help more people turn ideas into businesses.
