How does belay work with FOUNDERS

Partnership and Mentors

Belay’s Venture Partners Program seeks to create businesses that transform lives by partnering with passionate early stage Christian entrepreneurs. The program matches founders with mentoring groups of five business leaders who regularly meet and provide high-impact advice and a forum for working through challenges.

Financial Investment

The Belay Enterprises’ team will offer targeted training and support. In addition, the selected founder will receive help securing a start-up financial investment focused for business growth. All together, this investment of mentoring, technical expertise, and financial resources aims to increase the impact and effectiveness of the new venture.

Entrepreneurship Training

We coach and train aspiring entrepreneurs on the basics of starting a new venture. Items like how to create a business plan, a budget, a marketing plan and an elevator pitch. We believe in the importance of determining metrics early in the start-up to help measure the performance of the venture. In the future, Belay plans to offer classes on starting businesses to individuals in our job training program and other community organizations.

Job Training

Belay believes in the power of employment and job training to help build careers for individuals with alternative resumes. We have developed a job-training program for our business ventures to be able to train individuals for future employability.
