This document discusses a study on mentoring functions for novice entrepreneurs conducted by Etienne St-Jean. The study involved developing a startup survey in three versions, which was filled out by startups and provided to mentors for feedback. The survey aimed to help mentors better support startups over the course of mentoring relationships that typically last 3 months to 1.5 years. The main benefit of mentoring cited by St-Jean is the learning that occurs through conversations with experienced entrepreneurs.
