SCHOLARSHIPS
Aligning with our Core Values, please don’t forget that you have the ability to award 2 scholarships per year to a deserving Mentee who may otherwise not be able to afford the subscription price. This is completely at your discretion.
We will be holding 4 to 6 of our Lion’s Den events per year. These events offer opportunities for both Mentees and Mentors:
-
- This process will be a real life opportunity for our Mentees to gain significant experience in preparing businesses for which to explore funding from Mentors. This experience will be invaluable for our Mentees in understanding how investors look at and evaluate business opportunities.
- The Lion’s Den offers Mentors the ability to get visibility to investment opportunities that they otherwise would not have. Many of our Mentors are in a stage in life where they are in a position to make investments and become actively engaged in providing guidance at a critical stage in a new company’s growth. What better way to strengthen a Mentor’s relationship with a Mentee?
