BEyond

Program · Scaling

Belgian tech scale-ups, further.

A 12-month acceleration program for Belgium's best technology scale-ups, built around operational excellence and international growth.

What it is

Past the first million, the map runs out.

A Belgian scale-up that has found its market meets a different set of problems: hiring fast without breaking the company, raising the next round, and selling outside a small home market.

BEyond concentrates on the four that hurt most, sales, fundraising, HR and product, and pairs each company with an entrepreneur who has already done it.

What you get

A year of practical help.

A mentor who has done it

Matched with an entrepreneur who built their own company and took it international, chosen with you and yours for the year.

Workshops built around you

Quarterly sessions with expert partners, plus one-to-one time on whatever is in the way that month.

Investors and peers

An annual Investor Day, and a cohort of founders at the same stage that most participants keep long after the year ends.

In their words

What the founders say.

The knowledge that we gain thanks to BEyond is customized to the growth stage of our company. I'm currently implementing OKRs specifically recommended by Thomas, our mentor, and also the General Expectations Profiles following the HR workshop.

The BEyond program offers access to a unique community, creating a supportive family. Founders and co-founders are just a call away, always ready to share feedback and recommendations.

Hans, our mentor, was excellent and was able to open our eyes to many things, and challenged us to never take things for granted.
