Give your small business network mentorship they actually use, without adding headcount.
Mentorship-as-a-Service plugs a curated mentor community, smart matching, and KPI-ready reporting into the program you already run. Mentored entrepreneurs on Micromentor are twice as likely to grow revenue than non-mentored peers.
Built for the teams who run small-business programs inside large companies. Supplier development, small-business customer programs, corporate foundations and community initiatives. The program managers and directors who own the cohorts, the numbers, and the renewal conversation. If that's you, the next five minutes will feel familiar.
Get in touch
Tell us a little about the program you run and we will come back to you with outcome data from programs like yours.
We reply within one business day, usually with a couple of times for a short call.
Sound familiar?
Reach is easy to report. Outcomes aren't
You can say how many businesses you reached. What changed for them is harder, and CSR and ESG commitments increasingly ask for demonstrable impact rather than activity counts.
After the event, support goes quiet
An entrepreneur finishes the program or attends the session, and then nothing structured happens. Nobody measures what happens afterwards, and the businesses that needed the most help are the ones you stop hearing from.
Scale means spreadsheets
Every new cohort adds matching emails, tracking sheets, and chasing responses. The operational burden, not the budget, is what caps the program.
How it works
Step 1
Plug in
We design the mentorship layer around your existing program: expertise needs, cohorts, matching rules, your branding, your goals. You don't build anything.
Step 2
Match
The businesses in your program are matched with experienced business mentors from 120+ countries, searchable by industry, expertise, region, gender and language, with smart-match recommendations. Structured cohorts keep sessions happening, and unsticking a match that stalls is ours to do.
Step 3
Report
Business outcome reporting in the language your business runs on: engagement, retention, product adoption, revenue growth among participants. 30+ engagement and outcome metrics per cohort, board-ready and product-team-ready from the same dashboard.
Most mentoring software is an empty pipe
The platform arrives, and then your team asks: so where do the mentors come from? Then you have to recruit them, vet them, and keep them engaged, on top of your day job.
Micromentor shows up with the mentor community already built. That is the difference between buying software and buying a working program.
Your program, your brand, your numbers
The teams we work with do not want a tool simply stuck on to their initiative. They want the entrepreneur experience to feel like part of their organization.
Your cohorts run under your program's name and brand voice, and your community sees each other rather than a vendor's user base. Where an integration is genuinely warranted we build it, and program design is done in collaboration with your team throughout the entire process.
What that means in practice: your participants experience your program.
We power it underneath, driving impact the whole way through.

Eighteen years of mentorship, packaged for your program
Micromentor launched with a simple bet: entrepreneurs grow faster with a mentor in their corner. In 2025 alone the platform served 15,238 entrepreneurs across 185 countries, with mentors volunteering from 120+ countries.
Along the way, corporate program teams kept asking the same question: can we offer this to the small businesses in our program? Mentorship-as-a-Service is the answer. The mentor community, the matching, and the outcome tracking we built over eighteen years, delivered as a layer on top of what you already run.
Mentors from 120+ countries, searchable by industry, expertise, region, gender and language, with smart-match recommendations, and you recruit none of them
Smart matching plus structured cohort delivery, with program support that unsticks a relationship when it stalls
Co-branded or white-label, so your participants experience your program with your brand voice
One platform that handles a cohort of fifty or ten thousand, so you don't change systems when the program grows
Business outcome reporting: 30+ engagement and outcome metrics per cohort, impact and commercial KPIs for your stakeholders

Questions we hear a lot
-
Experienced entrepreneurs and business professionals from 120+ countries, people who have run businesses, hired, borrowed and sold, with expertise ranging from finance and operations to marketing, legal, supply chain and digital. Our volunteer mentors are rated by the entrepreneurs who work with them at 7.6 out of 10, with 77.1% saying their mentor had the right skills and experience and 68.7% acting on their mentor's guidance inside the program.
-
Then you know significant time goes to recruiting mentors, matching by hand, and chasing sessions. Keep what works. This extends your program rather than replacing it, and we take the coordination and the reporting.
-
That is usually a structure problem rather than an interest problem. On the Verizon program, structured onboarding drove the entrepreneur connection rate from 19% to 35%.
-
The matching, admin, program support and reporting live on the platform and with our team, rather than in your inbox.
-
With the same data layer that serves your funder or CSR stakeholders and your product team. It is what carried a development-finance program we run to a $240K renewal: the outcome documentation was the argument.
-
Yes. We offer a structured employee volunteer channel with engagement, satisfaction and impact tracked just like we do for the entrepreneurs in the program. Several corporate programs start here before extending mentorship to the businesses they serve.
-
Once a contract is signed, our team can stand up your initiative within two to four weeks depending on the scope.
-
We offer multiple tiers to fit the level of support your team needs to run its initiative. Most teams start with a defined scope and full reporting, then determine whether the numbers justify scale.
-
Yes. Cohorts run under your program's name and look. Your participants experience your program and we power it underneath.
