BRIDGE ENTREPRENEURS NETWORK
At BEN, we specialize in supporting scale-up entrepreneurs. Our exclusive, proven approach connects visionary entrepreneurs with experienced C-level executive Advisors, curating a unique support system around the entrepreneur for a year (and beyond).
This experience extends to our distinguished leaders, advisors, partners, and funders, who all share our commitment to fostering thriving businesses. Together, we build a dynamic ecosystem that not only supports individual entrepreneurs, but also contributes to the overall prosperity of the local economy through strategic connections, educational resources, and when applicable, access to capital.

Who we serve
We support second-stage entrepreneurs—leaders who’ve moved beyond the startup phase and are ready to scale. Since inception, we’ve backed over 150 entrepreneurs across Colorado who have collectively raised $9.7B, generated $8.2B in revenue, and employed more than 20,000 people.

What We Believe: When leaders are fully supported—personally and professionally—they’re better equipped to grow businesses, uplift communities, and drive positive change.
