Innovators are everywhere, but they need a little push from someone who knows what it takes to make their dreams come true.
That's where our mentors come in—shaping the future by empowering innovators around the world with their wisdom and experience.
If you've ever had the privilege of meeting a mentor who changed your life, you know how important mentors can be.
Mentors help us find our path and shape us for the future by showing us what's possible.
Mentors are one of the most important pillars of our programs. Alongside the numerous workshops, mentors provide advice and guidance based on their expertise and experience in the industry.
Throughout the program mentors can help as many startups as they want to - depending on their availability and needs of the cohort.
The duration of the program is 3 months. At the beginning of the program, mentors have the opportunity to choose the startups they would like to mentor, also the startups can choose them (it’s always a mutual match).
Mentors are part of a series of events hat help decide which startups you want to support.

Mentoring for teams within Startup Bootcamp has taken me on this amazing adventure, sometimes way outside of my comfort zone :)
I've learned a lot interacting with the most innovative, creative entrepreneurs from so many different industries!I consider every mentoring session an intellectual investment - one that helps me stay curious, optimistic and inspired by the startups aiming to change the world for better.
It's a win-win situation and I'm happy to share my experience and be a part of this community.

My best advice for the startups would be to stay connected with the SBC family.
There's a whole network you can use of mentors, coaches, people with a l ot of knowledge

I admire Startupbootcamp for the unbridled energy to support startups in their mission to make the world better more sustainable, smarter, inclusive and divers and lots more innovative.
I am happy that I can contribute to the startups as a mentor.
The dialog between the organization, the startups and the ecosystem around it is inspiring and also brings me to a higher level in my daily work

During Selection Days, mentors have a chance to meet the startup finalists that will pitch their solutions to join the accelerator program.
After the pitching round, you get the opportunity to ask questions to a selection of startups during deep dives in the breakout rooms.
On the last day of each selection round, we will bundle all the insights from mentors, investors, and our team to select participants for each program.
On the final day, we announce the top 10 chosen startups that will join.
This event will take place online and physically in our Amsterdam office.
During the event, mentors get the chance to have 1-1 with the startups of their choice, get to know other mentors, and enjoy some drinks with the ecosystem.
Impact day is the event marking the end of the 3-month accelerator.
The startups in the program showcase their progress to a curated audience of investors, mentors, and partners - in a day filled with innovation, excitement and enthusiasm.
You cannot miss it!
