You are Important to Us
It doesn’t matter if you change your mind about your venture or start a new one. Our role is to empower you with the mindset, skills, resources, and network you need to be successful, regardless of what you are working on.
Your idea will never be discussed with anyone without your consent. Your venture idea’s will be kept private and we take confidentiality very seriously.
You are empowered to make all the decisions about your venture. Our role is to help and guide you, and we will never make decisions for you or pressure you to do something that you don’t want to do.
You will be paired with a mentor who does not have any conflicts of interest or personal projects that are similar to yours so that they can be as helpful and objective as possible.
