Mentoring Sessions
There are two 45-minute mentoring sessions in small groups with two mentors per group. Sessions take place in breakout groups, and we ask that once you join a group you stay for the duration of that session. Participants should give a one-minute overview of themselves and their business venture, then be prepared to ask for advice/feedback/analysis regarding the most challenging problem you are facing. There are no wrong topics, it’s totally up to you! Examples might include:
- Should I quit my job to start my own business?
- What are the pros and cons of accepting investment capital?
- How do I incorporate a company?
- Should I find a technical co-founder, or hire a programmer?
- What’s the best digital marketing strategy for my business?
