FIND A MENTOR

Mentoring

Our mentorship services can help climate tech startups accelerate their path to commercialization. Client companies work with our highly qualified EIRs to complete deliverables within a defined project scope. Mentors are expected to work with (not for!) a client company to coach, guide, and support. Additional EIRs can be added in response to changing client needs. 

Examples of potential projects:

  • Customer Discovery. Work to refine and validate your business model hypotheses. 

  • Pitch coaching. Get direct feedback on your deck and presentation to prepare for an upcoming meeting.

  • Grant opportunities. Receive help finding, assessing fit, and refining your submission.
