“Bridge for Billions allows us to establish personal relationships between our entrepreneurs and the mentors on the platform, which is something very important for these women who are taking their first steps as entrepreneurs and who are not always familiar with the digital space."
Ana GasconCSR Director for Coca-Cola Iberia 
“Bridge for Billions should be the backbone of any mentoring program. Without the well-structured platform and its guiding role, the program would not have been a success! What differs Bridge from any other program is the human aspect; the support received from Bridge staff throughout the program was outstanding and influenced the overall satisfaction highly positive.”
