Mentors and advisors in the Hub play a crucial role in supporting and accompanying entrepreneurs and student founders at different points of their startup journey, and act as key contributors to their development and progression as they work towards creating a successful business.
The most effective business mentors possess similar characteristics:
- They provide constructive feedback
- They are approachable
- They’re willing to listen and share honest feedback
Most importantly, good mentors have had real-life business experiences, often characterized by both trials and errors, allowing them to provide new entrepreneurs with unique perspectives when growing a business.
