The why
The Belgian Tech Entrepreneurship landscape doesn't reflect our diverse society. BuD-IT is the result of an alliance between BeCode, Orange, and Start it @KBC, dedicated to supporting diverse team entrepreneurship in Belgium by providing a No-Code training as well as entrepreneurial support. By empowering diverse founders with no-code skills, we aim to bridge the diversity gap and create a more inclusive and representative entrepreneurial ecosystem
In Belgium, only 10% of start-ups are founded by a woman.
1% of venture capital goes to all-female teams
5% of venture capital goes to mixed teams
Our No-Code Approach
No-code tools democratize entrepreneurship by reducing the technical and financial barriers that often discourage underrepresented individuals from pursuing their business dreams.
It also enables entrepreneurs to quickly test and validate their ideas, allowing them to iterate and refine their products based on customer feedback and market insights.
Together, we created a unique innovation program to:
- Develop tech skills through No-Code thanks to BeCode 6-week Starter Sprint financed by Orange Foundation
- Be coached and receive personalized mentorship thanks to Start it @KBC support
- Connect to commercial and funding opportunities thanks to Orange Fab start-up acceleration
- Connect to other actors of the ecosystem thanks to our network
