Say Hello to our 2022 Mentors & Advisors

When things got tough these past 2 years, 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. Whether it was over Zoom, on the patio at Kula or in the Community Center here at the Village, they showed up and our community is so lucky. 

Every Friday, without fail, Mentors and Advisors show up for our community with their wisdom and time. I am beyond excited to announce our 2022 Mentors and Advisors:
