Mentor Hours is a series of pre-arranged, 45-minute group meetings between startups and 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 do I apply?

The first step is to register your interest. You can do this through the Startup Activation application form on the Web Summit platform.

The Mentor Hours team will send an email two weeks before the event to all startups that have registered their interest, asking them to select a track and time slot for their meeting. 

Important: Options are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. We encourage all startups to secure their preferred track and time slot as early as possible.

Please note: Mentor Hours are group meetings between one mentor and eight like-minded startups. 

Only one member of each startup team can attend a Mentor Hours session.
