A Business Mentor is someone with substantial business experience who volunteers to serve another business owner as a trusted supporter. Mentors join, search for entrepreneurs to assist online, and once connected, start providing critical business knowledge.

Connected mentors and entrepreneurs set the terms of their relationship, making this an extremely flexible volunteer opportunity. Meanwhile, our support staff is by your side every step of the way to help you have a great volunteer experience.

Some entrepreneurs need a sounding board or general industry advice, while others are looking for targeted technical advising. Even though you will be providing critical knowledge, our mentors frequently report that they feel like they get much more than they give.

Put your business skills to good use and help a small business owner today.





Why do Business Mentors volunteer their time?

  • Give Back: Entrepreneurs who work with our mentors grow their revenue by an average of $60,000, or 120%. Our 2012 Business Outcomes Report illustrates the real impact mentors make in the lives of small business owners.
  • Develop your skills: Even though mentors come to the relationship with substantial business experience, they frequently develop new skills as a teacher and coach by mentoring.
  • Learn from entrepreneurs: Connected entrepreneurs on average spend 14 hours with their mentors. Conversations with entrepreneurs expose mentors to new industries, challenges, experiences, and ideas.
