Our financial engagement platform gives individuals untapped access to their future by connecting users to investors and matching performance with upfront cash for equity, not debt.

Game-Changing Access to Financing

Today's financing options limit the ability of young Americans to access financing and saddle them with debt. Our platform will provide easy access to flexible financing that helps individuals invest in their future and achieve their long-term goals earlier.

How does BEP work?

We’ve developed a new financial asset class in which investors provide upfront cash to individuals with earning potential in exchange for an equity stake in a portion of their future earnings. Our financial engagement platform allows the asset class connections to be made and paid.

How is this different from a traditional loan?

Equity financing differs greatly from debt financing -- individuals sell a portion of their future earnings instead of borrowing money to pay back at a fixed rate. If the individual's earnings don't live up to expectations, they aren't left with crippling debt.

Why do we do it?

Our founders are on a mission to solve a real problem in income inequality and social mobility by providing people with the resources and tools to maximize their earning potential, regardless of their socioeconomic backgrounds. We believe that every individual should have equal opportunity to invest in their future now.
