Would you like to share your knowledge with startups from our community and help them grow their startup? That’s amazing!

What does it mean to be a mentor?

You will periodically receive an email with requests for help from startups within the PLNT ecosystem. If they match your expertise, you can contact the startups directly.
You will be invited to physical startup-mentor matching events.
How you structure your mentor-mentee relationship is entirely up to you: duration, number of hours, meeting online or offline, etc.
You will not be paid by PLNT and may not ask the startups for compensation unless they offer you a more permanent position in the company. You may join or invest in startups you meet through the mentor network, if there is a click.

We are looking for mentors who:

Are an entrepreneur who has successfully scaled one or more companies to 20+ employees and realized an exit.
And/or are a senior manager of a large and/or highly innovative organization with experience in the startup or scaling phase.
And/or be someone with knowledge and/or skills that are valuable to startups and difficult to access for free.
And enjoy helping the next generation of science and technology entrepreneurs build their businesses.
