Mentors

What is the Mentorship Program?

Mentors will be directly matched with the teams that advance to the second round of the Social Entrepreneurship Challenge and will work with them until the competition ends in May. Mentors contribute valuable field knowledge, industrial credibility, networking contacts and fresh ideas to project teams. This is particularly important for new entrepreneurs, who may not have the pathways for securing essential advisors on their own. Mentors and their respective teams are required to meet at least once, and will discuss the details of the prospective venture and its implementation through email, phone conversations, or subsequent meetings, at an approximate commitment of 5 hours/month.

Applying to Become a Mentor

To apply to become a mentor, please contact Andi Kleissner (andik at stanford.edu), who is in charge of the Mentorship Program. In addition to being formal mentors, anyone interested in offering their expertise and services to teams are welcome to inquire about other opportunities for involvement. In past years, some mentorship candidates outside of the Stanford area have served as email consultants, helping teams answer questions in areas foreign to them, and offering knowledge unavailable for local mentors.
