Hi all,

As you know, BfE facilitates a startup incubation programme where we provide free support for social enterprises. Mentors sign up to help specific startups reach goals over multiple projects spanning 6-8 months.
At BfE tech, we have three main functions:
- Build and maintain the software and architecture needed to run BfE.
- Update internal operations with automation and cutting edge digital processes to scale BfE.
- Create digital products for our enterprises to use, to add even more value to our programme.
In contrast to Incubation projects, Tech projects are not bound to a specific timeline and occur throughout the year. We also cover a vast range of topics, so whether you have experience in Product Management, UI/UX, Analytics, DevOps, Digital Marketing or any other digital experience, we need you! |

January event: Career Talk | |
|
In 2022, we are going to host a selection of events to bring mentors together with the BfE community of professional and student volunteers. In January we are planning a careers talk. We are hoping to have three or four professionals describe their current role and how they arrived there, then hold a Q&A to answer questions from the participants.
If you are interested in taking part in this event, please let us know at: tech.contact@mentor.bridgesforenterprise.com
If you want to present at an event about a different topic, or you have any thoughts about getting involved, please reach out! |
