Mentorship
As a mentor, you’ll have the opportunity to give back and support the growth of the entrepreneurial ecosystem. You’ll also be able to grow and learn too – you’ll expand leadership skills, strengthen your communication abilities and gain valuable fresh perspectives from your mentee. You’ll also be able to contribute to someone’s success through your knowledge and experience.
Mentors provide valuable support and guidance to students by sharing their entrepreneurial journey. Lived experience stories, shared networks and taking time to listen and answer questions helps set up future entrepreneurs for success.

Case Studies
Being a case study participant will give you an opportunity to bring the example of real problems to a classroom of students who are eager and willing to provide fresh perspectives. You’ll have the opportunity to expose students to your company or industry and gain access to talented future entrepreneurs and innovators.
Case studies are an opportunity for students to solve real problems faced by real companies, providing practical learning applied to the theories learned in class. Case studies allow students to work through business decisions, balance options and perspectives, source facts and analyze data to support their decision.
Time needed to prepare the case study + 1-3 hours in class.
Your choice. Online or in-person.
