Donate

Donate to fund our efforts to build entrepreneurs right here in our city. Thank you for your consideration! Please reach out to us for details.

Mentor

​We are soliciting mentor candidates from local business and community organizations.  After reviewing your application and conducting a telephone interview, mentor applicants may be matched in the traditional one-on-one format.

Or, you may be selected to be a group mentor. This popular format joins four mentees with two mentors twice per month for an hour as they share challenges and accountability tasks.

Please complete the form below if you’d like to be considered as a mentor.

Expert Consultants

We see Expert Resources as people in areas of specialty or strength who can bring a specific help to our clients, moreso than their Primary Mentor. Those areas are identified as:
    • Legal
    • Accounting
    • Marketing
    • Finance
    • Human Resources
    • Small Business Practical Experience

If you have skills in a specific area and are willing to work with our clients at no charge, for a few brief meeting sessions, please complete the Expert Consultant form below.

What is Mentoring?

We expect our mentors to fill a very specific support need. Business mentoring is different from management consulting or business coaching. It assumes that the mentee already possesses the basic technical skills to make their product or deliver their service. The mentor focuses on business perspective and guidance, personal development, and soft skills.

Give Back

The mentee benefits from the knowledge and experience of the mentor by receiving:

  • Advice, counsel and encouragement
  • A confidential sounding board, thinking room, and support for working through crucial and often complex decisions.
  • Networking and contacts
  • Political and cultural know-how
  • Ongoing personal support and encouragement

If this sounds like a good fit for you, please APPLY today with the form below.
