The platform, free
An impact organisation registers, shows what it does and what it needs, and becomes visible to funders. Free, and open source.
Access to entrepreneurship
The solutions exist.
The money is slow.
BeImpact is the Belgian hub for organisations working on impact, and its job is to make funding easier to find and easier to win.
Who they are
A hub between founders and funders.
BeImpact connects impact organisations, the people who support them and the people who fund them. Its purpose is to make access to money and to information simpler and more transparent than it is today.
Two things carry that. An open platform where an impact organisation is visible to funders for free, and hands-on fundraising support for the ones that are ready to raise.
- Who it is for
- Impact organisations in Belgium, and the funders looking for them

- The boutique
- Tailored fundraising support, from the pitch deck to the introductions
Why we fund them
Good ideas fail for lack of the right money.
An impact organisation rarely stalls for lack of a good idea. It stalls because the right funding does not arrive at the right time, and because the founder cannot see who might provide it. BeImpact works on exactly that gap, from both ends: making organisations easier for funders to find, and making them readier when a funder does look.
Pulse funds BeImpact for its role as the hub in the middle. It lowers three barriers at once, information, network and finance, and it sends entrepreneurs to the right tools and the right investors rather than leaving them to guess.
What they run
A platform, and a boutique.
For funders
Curated dealflow with the key facts attached, pitch material to read, and online pitching sessions to join.
The fundraising boutique
For organisations ready to raise: the pitch deck reviewed, the financial plan challenged, a data room built, and introductions to funders who actually fit.
In their words
Someone who lived it.
Thanks to BeImpact we sharpened our funding need, improved our pitch and were put in touch with relevant investors. That contributed a great deal to the success of our funding round.
