About us
Where innovation meets acceleration
BEyond is Belgium’s premier acceleration program for ambitious technology scale-ups.
Run by the Pulse Foundation, our 12-month, equity-free program helps ambitious companies break into international markets and level up their operational excellence thanks to expert mentorship, tailored workshops and unparalleled networking opportunities.
BEyond is powered by the Pulse Foundation, a Belgian non-profit organization supported by families with entrepreneurial roots.
Pulse is a politically neutral, financially independent force for entrepreneurship in Belgium.
Our mission? To drive societal change by empowering individuals to turn their dreams into reality.
We support non-profits that promote entrepreneurship and run our own startup studio to spark innovation.
Our programs—like BEyond for scale-ups and Revival for entrepreneurs overcoming setbacks—fill critical gaps in the ecosystem. Through research and lobbying, we champion entrepreneurs, ensuring their voices are heard.
More than a foundation, Pulse is a movement.
By 2030, we aim to be Belgium’s guiding light in entrepreneurship, proving that bold ideas can change the world.
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.
