Because International Information

At Because International, we believe everyone deserves a chance to succeed. A 501(c)(3), our mission is to alleviate poverty by distributing impact products and supporting product-focused entrepreneurs. The Shoe That Grows, our flagship product, grows five sizes and lasts for years, created for kids impacted by poverty. Simple, innovative products like The Shoe That Grows can meet immediate needs of health and safety for children and families in poverty and crisis situations. We’ve learned lots of lessons in the creation, production, and distribution of The Shoe That Grows, and we’ve connected with many other entrepreneurs along the way. This product and process served as a catalyst for the Pursuit Incubator. Our Pursuit Incubator is designed to help entrepreneurs take their innovative products to the next level. The Pursuit Incubator is a digital 10-week mentorship program. Entrepreneurs enter a small cohort and work one-on-one with a CEO advisor. The Pursuit Incubator is uniquely focused on overcoming the challenges to developing affordable manufactured products which have proven market attractiveness and are ready to aim for production at scale. We want every idea to have the best chance at becoming a reality.
