Mentor applications are open now

Mentorship can be the missing link for a startup founder navigating the early years of a new venture.

About the Program

Twice per year, Bucks Built Accelerator Fund invests up to $25,000 each in at least five early-stage startups. In addition to investment, each startup founder receives on-going support from Startup Bucks.

A critical element of that support is curated mentorship based on industry and expertise.

Mentor volunteers who are matched with a founder commit to a 6 month mentoring relationship, with 1 mentoring meeting per month and provide ad-hoc advising as needed. Matched mentors receive training and mentoring guidelines, as well as assistance from the Startup Bucks team.

Mentor applications are open now and are accepted on an ongoing basis.

Who can be a mentor?

• Current or former founders and/or others with experience supporting founders

• Willing to volunteer time and energy to their mentee(s)

• Interested in supporting entrepreneurship in the Southeastern Pennsylvania region
