Walk into a room of funders, ready.
The BreakingBounds® Accelerator is an eight-month business education experience for social entrepreneurs. Your leadership team redesigns your business model, builds a funding engine that holds up and pitches it to a curated room of funders.
What You Get:
Four comprehensive sessions. Each full day produces finished work your team can use right away: business model evaluation, financial planning, fundraising strategy, and pitch readiness.
A science-backed curriculum. The framework is grounded in adult learning and neuroscience, so the thinking your team does in the room sticks and carries into how you lead.
Signature business and financial assessment tools. The Strategic Business Model Evaluator™, the FutureFit Financial Map™, and the Revenue Readiness Map™. They're yours to keep using inside your organization after the program ends.
Team collaboration. Three leaders build the strategy side by side, so it doesn't live in one person's head.
Cohort-based peer learning. You'll learn alongside a cohort curated to be diverse and non-competitive, so you can share openly.
Expert consulting between sessions. Virtual check-ins keep momentum and help you apply the work to your organization.
Investor-ready artifacts. A pitch deck and case for support that reflect your evolved business model, plus a funding activation plan for who to approach, what to say, and in what order.
Pitch Day. Present to a curated room of funders, connectors, and ecosystem builders with more than $500M in combined giving capacity.
Plus: after the program, you'll get access to our Beyond the Accelerator network of vetted partners for finance, HR, fund development, and more.
