Mentors
We engage a group of highly successful and dedicated alumni and community members in our mentor program who volunteer their time to supporting Startup Lab's founders.
Team Mentoring
Research conducted at MIT shows that team mentoring is more valuable for the startups. Startups are exposed to more than one perspective to develop important critical thinking and decision-making skills. They have access to a much wider network of mentors to act as a sounding board for their ideas or to access when needed for their specific area of expertise. The mentors also gain from the network and the ability to connect and give back in a meaningful way.
Mentor Matching
One of the most unique aspects of our mentoring program is that we do not match our mentors with startups. Instead we allow our mentors to self-select the startups that they feel they can add the most value to based on their expertise and interests.
