Become a Mentor

We are a social enterprise. As start-up specialists, we help more new businesses succeed.

How does mentoring work

Can you give 2 hours a month to be a volunteer mentor, inspiring the next generation of new businesses?

• We ask that you listen, ask questions and inspire mentees with your entrepreneurial or senior leadership experience.   
• You will receive a one-hour induction, delivered by interactive webinar, and be asked to complete a DBS check.
• You will then be introduced to a mentee who is starting self-employment, a new business or a new social enterprise. Most mentoring sessions are held online.
• Mentees are all over 16. We encourage diversity and see a very broad range of experience, age, sector and innovation among our mentees.
• You will join a network of like-minded mentors who share best practice and make business connections with each other.

Please note, we do not pay fees or expenses to our mentors.
