Web City Properties and Bridge for Billions launch The John D'Silva Incubator

We support first-generation immigrant entrepreneurs in the United States to launch and advance their businesses through a high-quality, effective entrepreneurship support program

Created by

The John D'Silva Incubator

There is an immense opportunity to support immigrant entrepreneurs in the U.S. and it is one that Jordan D’Silva, CEO of Web City Properties, knows very well. 

Jordan’s father, John D’Silva, immigrated to the United States from India in the 1970s and started his own real estate investment company called Web City Properties.  Through hardships, failures, perseverance, and a tireless drive to succeed, John grew Web City Properties to be a thriving, growing company in the Dallas real estate market. John D’Silva unfortunately passed away in 2020, but he left a legacy behind of giving back to others and investing in education and entrepreneurship. 

In honor of John D’Silva’s legacy and the mission he left behind, Web City Properties is proud to launch a partnership with Bridge for Billions to educate and support immigrant entrepreneurs in the U.S.

Mentors and Entrepreneurs Matching

Latest April 2023

"Matching" is a fun process in which you get to meet several volunteer business mentors and decide which one is the best fit for you. During 2 weeks you'll have 30min initial meeting with several mentors, and you will eventually rank them by order or preference. We'll then finalize who is your final "match": the one mentor who will guide you all along the program.

Pitch Competition

After completing the program, you will be invited to the Pitch Competition, a final event where you will be able to present your business to a panel of judges and compete for one of the program's prizes.

The best methodology

As the backbone of the program, the platform offers a gamified and step-by-step experience that allows entrepreneurs to create their business plans and validate their model. Far from theory, the pedagogy pushes you to formulate your ideas and answer the tough questions.

It invites you to “get out there”, talk to people, research, and validate your ideas. Your mentor will be there for you every week to support you by challenging assumptions and offering a fresh perspective.
