How does it work?
Once you are accepted as a full member, you can immediately begin messaging and meeting other members, including volunteer mentors. You can work on your most urgent business challenges, and use our Project Guides to work together on your business plan, getting new customers, and more.
We connect you to mentors, resources, and funding opportunities; however, you must bring the right mindset and level of commitment to this community. It’s important that you believe that with the right mindset and support, you can transform yourself into the entrepreneur you want to be.
Lastly, to succeed in this community, we assume that you are:
-
willing to learn from your mistakes or failures
-
going to honor your commitments
-
open to working with and learning from others
What is the commitment that I make as a member?
By joining our community of entrepreneurs, you are making the following commitment:
-
You’ll only request support when you’re ready to actively work with one of our volunteer advisors or mentors. If you aren’t ready yet, just set yourself to the status “Busy” until you are.
-
Once you’ve messaged with someone and agreed to meet, you should be ready to set up a meeting (by phone, video chat, or in-person) within the next two weeks.
-
You’ll attend scheduled meetings on time or provide notice if you will be late or need to reschedule.
-
You’ll rate your experience and provide feedback when asked by our Member Experience team.
