Our collaborations reshaped what partnership means for us. Working alongside PIMCO, Nike, Target, Google, NBA Foundation, GM, Visa, and dozens of local ecosystem partners taught us that shared measurement and long-term trust create the strongest results.

​

During this period, BGV worked alongside national and local partners who invested in programs, systems, consistency, and long-term capacity. These partnerships strengthened founder reach, expanded program opportunities, and sharpened how BGV measured outcomes.

​

What we Observed:

• Multi-year partnerships supported deeper engagement and stronger alumni outcomes.

• Partners who participated across multiple touchpoints contributed to more consistent founder experiences.

• Shared learning improved program design and strengthened accountability.

​

Why it matters: Partnership is a force multiplier. When aligned partners move together, founders experience more continuity, more opportunity, and more pathways to growth.
