Modelled after MIT’s Venture Mentoring Service, the BCIC Mentor Program matches early-stage technology entrepreneurs with Mentors of strong professional reputation, qualification and experience in the technology industry. Mentors volunteer their time to provide guidance, advice and support in helping emerging entrepreneurs grow their companies.

More than 100 Mentors have been accredited by the program to date, ensuring a high level of quality and consistency of service for entrepreneurs in the Venture Acceleration Program.

While adhering to the rigor of MIT’s recommended mentoring practices, the program also adopted the Venture Growth Cycle as a best-practice approach to growing technology companies.
