Mentor Hours

<p>Mentor Hours is a series of pre-scheduled, 45-minute meetings between our high-level attendees and startups.</p>
<p>Mentor Hours has four distinct tracks: lead, engage, build and grow. Each track has a specific focus and mentors with relevant expertise to ensure you discuss the issues most important to your startup.</p>
<p>Mentors spend 45 minutes coaching startups in a group session. This mix of backgrounds means the session will be shaped by individual and collective experiences in the startup community.</p>
