Believe Begin Become awards are funded in part by sponsorship from the Google Foundation, in part by local companies who also sponsor the programme and in part by financing entities that are prepared to invest in winning entrepreneurs. All sponsors commit to financing awards because they have confidence that Ghanaian entrepreneurs who succeed in the Believe Begin Become programme are capable of turning the knowledge, tools and network gained into high-growth, successful businesses that will bring returns, provide jobs and benefit the economy.

TechnoServe and the Believe Begin Become Organizing Committee are currently working to engage the sponsoring companies mentioned above. Sponsoring companies understand the value of funding business development and seed capital awards for entrepreneurs. By investing in growing businesses these local sponsors increase the likelihood that Believe Begin Become finalists and winners will succeed and will bring growth to Ghana’s economy through private sector development.
