The Mentoring Platform provides entrepreneurs access to expert mentorship groups in different business areas through a structured process. Entrepreneurs are assigned a mentor to guide them through the program and connect them with expert groups in areas like marketing, finance, technology, and more. These expert groups provide tools, consultations, and recommendations to help the entrepreneur achieve their goals. The process is repeated with regular check-ins from the assigned mentor until the entrepreneur's business succeeds. The platform aims to provide well-rounded support that a single mentor alone cannot by leveraging groups of experts in specialized domains.
