At BonusX, our mission is to simplify the complex world of public and tax benefits on a global scale, starting with Italy.
Over 90% of families miss out on the benefits they are entitled to due to the sheer complexity of information and bureaucracy. With our platform, users can create a profile and immediately discover if they are eligible for services and benefits, such as the ISEE Certification, the Household Allowances, and tax returns.
After identifying the benefits they are entitled to, users can manage their application online directly on the BonusX platform, accessing various entities, including welfare agencies, tax agencies, and local administrations.
Since its launch in January 2022, the platform has already attracted more than 350,000 users, helping them access over 25 million euros in public benefits, with a rating of 4.8 out of 5 on Trustpilot from over 3,000 reviews.

In Swahili, “endelea" means to move forward, to continue without giving up, to hang on despite the challenges.

Get funding for a top-tier master degree - without worrying about collateral or a cosigner. We provide collateral-free education loans for international masters students, to pursue their dream degrees at the world’s best schools.
We believe in equal access to life-changing education, globally.
Talent and potential are evenly distributed around the world, but access to opportunity is not. Specifically, access to world-class education is limited by financial means.
This is particularly true in emerging markets where many families dont have the income or collateral to support the education aspirations of the next generation of global leaders.

The 2030 Social Impact Special Prize is a company idea prize and wants to support startups and entrepreneurial ideas that aim to address inequality issues, within and among European Nations.
Empowering and promoting the social, economic and political inclusion of all, irrespective of age, sex, disability, race, ethnicity, origin, religion, economics, or any other status. Powered by Giorgiana Notarbartolo
In 2015 the United Nations launched the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s); 17 global objectives to create a better world for everyone by 2030.
These goals aim to overcome climate change and empower people through different key targets, ranging from; nutrition, medical care, knowledge, water, sanitation, sustainable shelter, environmental quality, access to information and communication, inclusiveness and human rights.
In 2020 when 2030SI was created we were 10 years from the 2030 timeline and certain goals were on track to be reached, such as those related to nutrition and basic health. For other goals, such as water and sanitation, solutions are available and it’s now a matter of accelerating adoption and scaling them. This is good news!
On the other end of the spectrum, we are lagging (if not regressing) in personal rights and inclusiveness. Since 2015 data indicates that disparities of opportunity, income and power have risen.
This means we are in need of solutions addressing targets of SDG's: #1, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11, 16.
Please see below for venture application information.
Category: Company Idea Prize
Prize: €30,000 Investment (convertible note), access to system stakeholders, coaching (personal, legal and strategic) and investor network.
Some of our selection criteria includes: scale - severity of the issue times number of people affected; solvability - issue is addressable with reasonable resources; and neglectedness - issue is currently not widely addressed
