Mentorship Opportunities
TEAMS
TEAMS is based on the proven MIT Venture Mentor Services program. Each selected venture is assigned a team of 3-5 mentors with one lead mentor. This group of mentors meets in person with the company founder for 90 minute sessions.
Pitch Day Coaching
Selected entrepreneurs have five coaching sessions with a team of successful and experienced business experts leading up to the main event. A critical and high-value feature of the program, coaching helps entrepreneurs hone their delivery and synthesize their business concept, financials, and presentation.
What you will gain as a mentor:
Build valuable connections with industry-leading peer mentors
Sharpen your leadership and coaching expertise through hands-on practice and educational events
Experience the profound satisfaction of helping shape tomorrow's innovators
Strengthen our entrepreneurial ecosystem and drive local economic growth
If you’re a successful business person looking to give back, this program is for you. Mentor commitment includes a monthly mentor meeting and bi-monthly luncheon (~3 hours/month). Training and ongoing support is provided.
