How the program works

01

Before: Venture workspace

Each startup prepares and maintains a mentor-ready profile: executive summary, technology, team, financial details, pitch deck, and 3 objectives.

02

During the Session

Morning: six 20-minute meetings, two mentors each. Afternoon: group mentoring to compare perspectives and agree on top priorities.

03

After: Between Sessions

Mentors can volunteer to help founders reach their top priority goal until the next session. The Accelerator Manager keeps objectives visible and supports disciplined follow-through. Each session is objective-driven. Before every mentoring day, each startup proposes 3 objectives. In the morning, founders meet groups of 2 mentors for 20-minute sessions, where a designated mentor challenges the proposed objectives and recommends whether each should be retained, modified, or replaced. In the afternoon, all 24 mentors discuss the proposed objectives together and align on the startup's 3 priorities for the next sprint.

Application & Selection

The application form covers contact information, technology, IP, traction, funding, and pitch deck. Selection focuses on team quality, defensible advantage, market potential, traction, fundraising readiness, and the team's ability to benefit from and contribute to a candid mentor environment. This is an equity-free mentoring program.
