B4i is an initiative of Bocconi University that acts as a catalyst for the most innovative and high potential ideas and startups in the European entrepreneurial ecosystem.

As a sector-agnostic accelerator, B4i welcomes startups from any industry to apply to both pre-acceleration and acceleration programmes.

Through the acceleration programme, B4i invests €50K into each startup in exchange for up to 5% equity. After completing the programme, startups join the portfolio.

For investment consideration in the acceleration programme, we look for some initial traction (first clients, letters of intent, or a strong community of early users), a strong Founder-Market fit, and how much the startup can benefit from the programme.

The B4i acceleration programme launched in March 2020, and since then, portfolio startups from our programs have raised €39 M💰 and created over 160 jobs 💼
