Frequently Asked Questions
What is expected of me as a mentor?
Give a few hours, a day, or several days a year. We are open and flexible to your schedule. We are also flexible in how you communicate with our startups; phone, email or in person meetings are all acceptable. Ongoing mentoring can also be arranged if both the startup and mentor determine it to be beneficial. The frequency of engagement, the amount of time dedicated, and the structure of the conversations are left to the meeting attendees.
Is there a way to provide virtual mentor sessions?
Yes, mentoring could be done at a distance.
What happens when I become a mentor?
- Your mentor profile information is posted internally.
- The lead coordinator works with you to pair you to teams.
