Mentor Pool
Startup and Running
A new platform for (student) entrepreneurs to find startup mentors
Finding a good mentor is difficult but in the start-up phase of a company it can be especially valuable to be able to spar with an experienced entrepreneur. Therefore the Startup and Running platform was launched. Via this platform, students who want to start a company can find a mentor within the mentor pool of Startup and Running. A mentor really makes the difference when starting a company.
A mentor can also be of great value in a more mature phase of a company. The mentors are experienced entrepreneurs who can advise the starting entrepreneurs in the various phases of their company.
The Mentor Match Tool Startup and Running is part of the IXAnext program: Talent for Innovation and is made possible by the City of Amsterdam, UvA, VU, VUmc, HvA and AMC.
