💡 You’re already building. Now imagine having someone who helps you think bigger without taking the wheel. Last month, 126 beVisioneers Mentors came together for our first Mentor Masterclass, exploring what it really means to support innovators as they grow. 👏 A huge thank you to Lisa Fain for sharing her expertise and her passion with our community. Her core message: the best thing a mentor can do is resist the urge to fix. The message was simple: great mentorship isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about asking the right questions. Our Mentors explored practical tools like Listen-Reflect-Ask, language that preserves agency, and one deceptively simple question: “Would you like me to listen, help you think it through, or share an experience?” ✍️ Because our Fellows aren’t looking for someone to fix their projects, they’re looking for people who can challenge their thinking, share experience, open doors, and help them find their own way forward. The feedback tells the rest of the story: an average 9.3 out of 10 would recommend the session, and 100% of respondents said the frameworks expanded how they think about what makes a mentor valuable. That’s mentorship at beVisioneers: connection, curiosity and co-agency. And it’s one part of what’s behind you when you join Cohort 5. For Cohort 5, we’re bringing together 250 young innovators aged 18–28 who are already building a prototype, early traction, proven impact, or an idea with the potential to change the game. Here’s what’s behind you: 💡 Innovation training built around real ventures 🤝 1:1 venture coaching and mentorship from leading experts 💰 Up to €15,000 in Project Scholarships 🌍 A global network of young innovators doing real work ✈️ Fully funded international travel to meet fellow builders ⏳ Applications close January 31, 2027 👉 Apply now!

🌍 Meet planet-positive engineer and Pioneer Project Scholarship recipient Charles Oyamo. Growing up off-grid along Kenya’s border with Tanzania, Charles experienced energy poverty firsthand — and knew he had to do something about it. That spark led to the idea for Linq; a clean energy initiative building modular, decentralized solar battery hubs that redistribute surplus power in underserved communities. These community-based hubs use smart metering and pay-as-you-go models to elegantly solve energy access challenges. Their digital monitoring and credit system create a sustainable economic model — powering small businesses, electric mobility, and local resilience. This year, this bV Fellow was selected for a beVisioneers Pioneer Project Scholarship, a form of targeted financial support that helps Fellows apply their learning to real-world, planet-positive projects. With that support, Charles is now scaling Linq to a 1MWh SmartHub serving over 1,000 users a major step forward in delivering clean, community-owned energy solutions where they’re needed most.
