How do I apply for mentorship with The VMT?
General Information
First, we will collect some basic information on you and your company.
Type of Help Needed
Then, we need to know what kind of help you need. There are a number of ways that we can help you. Here is a little about each one and any additional information that you may need.
Help finding an Industry Mentor (IM)
This is the most common need for teams in the Regional I-Corps Program. First, we need to know a little about your business – what is your industry? What skills or expertise do you need in an IM? We will review your application and look internally (at The VMT Member base) to see if we have a potential IM for you from within the VMT.
If not, we have a process, training, and workshops to help you find an IM. Click here to register.
Help with Customer Discovery
You will get great guidance from your I-Corps Instructors, but sometimes you may want an outside view from people with experience in your field or industry. We can augment your I-Corps Instructors guidance with industry-specific knowledge.
General Business Assessment & Mentorship
When your Customer Discovery is finished and you are ready to start your business, you may need help defining the Problem, Solution, Market, Revenue Model, Business Model, Exit Strategy, some other aspect of the business, or all of the above.
Additional Information
Based on the Type of Help Needed, additional information, including a 1-minute video and a Pitch Deck, may be needed.
Next Steps
We will review your application and provide the next steps within 3 business days.
