2021 Mentors and Advisors

When things got tough in 2020, and holy night did they get tough, there was little that felt “sure” in this world. Through thick and thin, our Mentors and Advisors stuck with our community to help startups and founders navigate uncharted waters. 

Every Friday, without fail, Mentors and Advisors show up for our community with their wisdom and time. I am beyond excited to announce our 2021 Mentors and Advisors:

Mentors

A highly curated group of accomplished men and women who have incredible experience in the business and startup world. They have “been there, done that,” and are invested in the opportunity to help the next generation of entrepreneurs succeed. We consider it a long-term, authentic relationship that walks the startup journey alongside Founders in a blend of a personal and professional relationship.

Advisors

A highly curated group of businessmen/women who are successful subject matter experts. They are sales wizards, senior developers, lawyers, accountants, SEO experts, marketing gurus, and VCs who are committed to offering support and free advice to our community. These relationships are considered short-term connections with specific subject matter needs and requests. After meeting with one of our Advisors, our members are able to walk away with goals and direction to better serve their startup and team.
