About us
Where innovation meets acceleration
Powered by the Pulse Foundation, BEyond is Belgium’s premier accelerator program for growing scale-ups.
BEyond is powered by the Pulse Foundation, a Belgian non-profit organization supported by families with entrepreneurial roots.
The foundation is politically neutral and financially independent.
Its mission is to empower entrepreneurship in Belgium, driving societal change and helping individuals fulfil their dreams.
The fondation supports non-profit associations promoting entrepreneurship and runs its own "startup studio" to foster innovation. Its programs, including BEyond for scale-ups and Revival for entrepreneurs who faced bankruptcy, address gaps in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Moreover, the foundation advocates for entrepreneurs through research and lobbying, ensuring their needs are met.
Pulse is more than a foundation; it is a movement committed to breaking down barriers to entrepreneurial success. By 2030, it aims to be Belgium’s guiding light in entrepreneurship, shaping the future with our shared vision that entrepreneurship drives societal changes.
Our mission
Our common commitments
At BEyond, we are here to support you through all your highs and lows (and oh how we know there are those sometimes!). We will always talk with you openly and transparently, and we encourage you to do the same – not least so that we can make sure our support is adapted to your needs as your company evolves during and after the program.
If things don’t work out for your business, we understand – after all, entrepreneurship is about taking risks, and without failure there can be no innovation. We are here to help you navigate failure and embrace it as an opportunity to learn, regroup, and build something new.
The BEyond program is the core of our broad and dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystem. The scheme itself lasts 12 months, but this is just the beginning of our collaboration.
By enrolling, you join a vibrant community of best-in-class businesses – each of which continues to share its evolving skills and wisdom with BEyond peers, and our future cohorts of scale-ups.
We are, at heart, philanthropic – literally “human-loving”. Our ecosystem thrives because everybody works together.
From entrepreneurs to mentors, experts and investors, we all have a common goal, which is to help young Belgian companies thrive.
Our BEyond alumni are encouraged to give back – and pay forward – by actively participating in our community, supporting each other in their growth journey and pledging to support the Pulse Foundation in its mission to create a more entrepreneurial Belgium.
It’s not only about your company, but about the whole ecosystem that will allow your business and others to flourish now and in the future.
