About this event

Start-ups with mentors are 7x more likely to raise investment money and 3.5x more likely to grow user numbers for their products and services, according to JP Morgan Chase.

While most accelerators, VCs and innovation programs incorporate mentorship programs, it’s hard to find a single definition of mentors’ roles, how they work with founders and whatconstitutes “success”. Equally, potential mentors can be confused about the level and length of their involvement, if there is an investment component to their engagement, how long they stay involved, etc.

“Becoming A Start-Up Mentor” will help define mentorship, provide an introduction to mentorship skills, establish goals and expectations of effective mentorship and help establish operational and success metrics for ongoing mentorship platforms.
