Building on last year’s successful collaboration, Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and ALIVE Ventures have continued to join forces in 2025 through BCG’s Social Impact Consulting Program, an initiative that provides pro bono strategic consulting services to high-potential, impact-driven businesses, helping them scale their operations and deepen their social and environmental impact.

This year, the partnership continued its work in Peru and Colombia, reaffirming our shared commitment to strengthen the ecosystem of purpose-driven entrepreneurs in Latin America. Across the region, more than 45 BCG consultants have joined forces to offer hands-on, strategic support to over 12 ventures in both countries, helping them refine their business models and scale their impact.

The 2025 edition featured two national open calls coordinated by ALIVE (one in each country), inviting impact-driven startups to pitch their solutions and compete for a year of tailored strategic consulting from BCG specialists. Each country's program culminated with the announcement of this year’s winners, Hoppnic in Peru and AcabadosVIS.com in Colombia.

Hoppnic, the winner of the 2025 edition celebrated in Lima, is a social enterprise committed to restoring autonomy and dignity through cutting-edge bionic technology. Founded by mechanical-electrical engineer Ricardo Rodríguez and his team, Hoppnic has more than a decade of experience in biomechanical design and is dedicated to making high-tech prostheses accessible to those who need them most.

The company’s flagship product line, the BioHopp series, features 3D-printed upper-limb prostheses equipped with sensor-based control systems. Through an integrated model of advanced control, financing options and full user support, Hoppnic restores autonomy to thousands of people in Peru.

As the winner of the Social Impact Consulting Program in Peru, Hoppnic will receive pro bono strategic consulting from BCG, including a tailored growth-strategy and operational scale-up plan. With this support, Hoppnic is positioned to expand its reach into new markets, accelerate the adoption of its prosthetic solutions and deepen its social impact across the region.

AcabadosVIS.com, Winner of the 2025 Social Impact Consulting Award in Colombia

In Bogotá, the Grand Finale of the 2025 Social Impact Consulting Award celebrated Colombia’s most promising social enterprises. The winning startup, AcabadosVIS.com, stood out for its innovative approach to transforming affordable housing and formalizing construction contractors through a combination of digital innovation and social commitment.

Founded with the mission of improving the quality and accessibility of housing for low-income families, AcabadosVIS.com leverages technology to connect verified contractors with homeowners, ensuring affordable, transparent, and high-quality renovations. Its model not only enhances living conditions but also promotes formal employment within the construction sector, creating tangible impact for thousands of families across Colombia.

This year also marked the 10th anniversary of BCG’s Social Impact Consulting Program in Colombia, which has delivered more than US$5 million in pro bono consulting and supported over 50 social enterprises, fostering solutions that address pressing social and environmental challenges throughout the country.

Looking Ahead

The 2025 edition of the Social Impact Consulting Program reinforced the importance of the ALIVE's partnership with BCG in advancing inclusive, sustainable entrepreneurship across Latin America.
