Our mentors have the experience, emotional intelligence, and know-how to facilitate learning and act as trusted advisors.
Mentors guide founders through business challenges, providing a confidential sounding board and holding them accountable to their goals.
While each founder will have different needs and relationships develop organically, we recommend that each mentoring relationship involves a minimum commitment of one hour a fortnight over a three month period.

Success is measured based on the value exchanged through the relationship, the evolution of the relationship and the degree to which founders meet their goals.
