When it comes to entrepreneurial mentorship, we’re already a city of champions — and while the Mentor Connect lineup of mentors and leaders is deep, tryouts are always open, and recruiting never stops.

Why you should joinMentor Connect is proud partner of 1Philadelphia and the City of Philadelphia’s Most Diverse Tech Hub initiative, which places specific focus on supporting founders from underrepresented backgrounds. If you’re willing to help budding founders truly see what they can be, we can help you find them.
These are just a few of the power hitters and clutch players who are helping the next generation of leaders and companies to round the bases of progress everyday, and land each pitch into the 700 level.
