WE BACK STUDENTS WHO ARE ALREADY BUILDING.
A student incubator backed by a board of Beyond Now speakers. We invest real money in student-founded businesses, startups, creative ventures, and philanthropic projects — and stay in your corner while you build.
What we fund
Businesses
STARTUPS
CREATIVE VENTURES
PHILANTHROPIC PROJECTS
REAL CAPITAL, A SPEAKER BOARD, AND A NETWORK THAT STAYS.
The Beyond Now Fund starts with a $150K target pool. Students apply with a project; a board of Beyond Now speakers reviews every submission and selects which to back. Funded founders get a check (typically $1K–$10K), direct mentorship from the board, and a place in the Beyond Now network — across summits, pop-ups, the podcast, and the newsroom. It's not a loan and it's not a grant with strings; it's an investment in you, structured to help you actually ship.
