MicroMentor connects emerging entrepreneurs with volunteer business professionals in mentoring relationships. MicroMentor is a nonprofit program dedicated to helping emerging entrepreneurs like you access the business expertise you need to build your business.

How MicroMentor Works

1. Participants start by completing our online application form. Here mentors describe their experience and expertise, and entrepreneurs outline their business needs and mentoring goals. 2. Members always control who they connect with – actively seeking out connections, or reviewing and approving direct requests from others in our network. 3. Once connected, relationships progress over email and telephone, lasting an average of three months. 4. MicroMentor’s dedicated customer service team offers support and resources at every step along the way.

Program Requirements

We ask that all participants treat others within the MicroMentor community with respect, put an honest effort into each mentoring relationship established, and review and agree to our Ethical Agreement and Terms of Use. We also require that protege entrepreneurs: 1. Follow through with each mentoring relationship, showing up on time and prepared for appointments, and staying in good communication with your mentor. 2. Plan to dedicate 6 hours a month, for 3 months, to working with each mentor, preparing for meetings, and making progress towards your goals (actual involvement may vary). 3. Be at least 18 years of age.
