The TAEBC Mentor Network is fueled by engaged experts devoted to giving back to the next generation of energy & mobility entrepreneurs. One of the program’s strengths is that it welcomes a wide range of mentors who have varying amounts of time to devote to the program.
About Mentoring
Mentors are asked to serve based upon experience as a CEO, raising capital, growing successful companies or expertise in other relevant areas such as marketing, finance, legal, or product development.
Once accepted to the program, mentors complete a unique profile describing their background, areas of expertise and their availability. Mentors speak to founders on their own schedule and can determine how much time they are willing to devote to mentoring. Once the mentor profile is complete, entrepreneurs can search for the right connection via areas of expertise and can book mentorship sessions year-round to gain valuable insight, deep subject matter expertise, informed feedback, and get “unstuck” when navigating unfamiliar terrain.
Mentorship is provided year-round in partnership with other leading innovation programs such as the Spark Accelerator, Spark Mobility Lab, Spark Incubator, and Innovation Crossroads.
