When faced with the pressures of growing your startup, your ability to act quickly and correctly will depend on experience, skill and knowledge. Mentoring can make the difference between success and failure.
Our new concept Startup Mentoring Corner will provide you hands-on and personalized guidance from carefully selected experienced entrepreneurs, investors and mentors.
Get exposure and insights that help take your startup to the next level
Founders selected for one-on-one mentoring will spend an hour privately with the mentor.
Be prepared to pitch your startup and have list of questions you’re seeking guidance to, learn from mentors experience and incorporate their insights and feedback.
Mentors can even become your connectors, advisers, angels, customers, friends, helping you to the next level.
