About the Initiative
Mastercard supports programs and solutions that can help them grow their businesses, through a range of initiatives including funding, mentoring and the development of inclusive technologies. Our partnership with MicroMentor, an online platform that connects entrepreneurs with volunteer mentors, is one way we demonstrate commitment to help create vibrant business ecosystems. Together, we are providing entrepreneurs with no-cost business support that grows their professional and personal networks.
Simultaneously, it provides our volunteer mentors the opportunity to impact and learn from a resilient and growing small business ecosystem. Through this partnership with MicroMentor, we’re adding a new focus and scale to our volunteer efforts and ability to serve local businesses. We're excited to welcome members from the Mastercard community in joining the thousands of other mentors and entrepreneurs changing lives, one connection at a time.
How It Works
1. Create a Profile on Micromentor
A complete profile is the first step to connecting with others. It lets people know who you are and why you are here. The quality of your profile greatly affects your impression on those you are trying to connect with.
2. Reach Out to Others and Connect
Explore other members who have the profile you're looking for. Reach out by sending messages to several members. Start a conversation and find the right fit for you.
3. Start Mentoring
Now that you've found a match ask questions, share, and listen. Agree on how and when to communicate using email, video chat, or a phone call. Set goals and start solving problems together!
