On this page you will find information on:
Mentor Hours are pre-arranged, 45-minute group meetings between startups and the high-level attendees who have done it all before.
During Mentor Hours, our attending speakers, investors and partners give startups the advice they wish they’d received starting out.
How does it work?
If your application to take part in Mentor Hours is successful, your startup will be matched to a mentor based on your industry, location and chosen track.
Your mentor will lead the meeting, providing valuable knowledge relating to their experiences and your track. Time will be allocated for you to ask questions and share the challenges you face as a startup.
You will be contacted by the middle of October with the details of your mentor and the time of your meeting.
Please note: Mentor Hours are group meetings between one mentor and up to 10 like-minded startups.
Due to limited availability, only one member of each startup can attend a Mentor Hours session.
