A free three-week summer program where Ethiopian and Eritrean youth aged 14 to 18 build real businesses.
Twelve hands-on sessions where our Innovators go from first idea to first sale, together.
Team-based business development, career-readiness workshops, and a final pitch showcase. Every team gets a $100 seed fund and launches at a real pop-up market.
Birr (ብር) is Ethiopia's currency, and our name is a promise: entrepreneurship that connects heritage with future, and goes beyond profit.
5 mentors and 10 guest speakers from the community. Every mentor and speaker looks like our Innovators and has walked a path they can learn from.
We know that as a parent, you want the best for your child, and we take that trust seriously. Beyond Birr is a safe, structured, and culturally grounded space where your son or daughter will be challenged, encouraged, and celebrated.
Spots are limited to keep mentorship personal. Reach out and we'll walk you through the application.
