During the pandemic, StartupSac and the Carlsen Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship have organized a number of web-based Mentor Sprint events where founders had an opportunity to connect with mentors in 15-minute sprint sessions. Coming August 25, Mentor Sprint will be offered as an in-person sub-event of the Growth Factory’s GFX event at @theGrounds in Roseville! We’re excited to offer this new opportunity for face-to-face interaction!
The Mentor Sprint connects venture-backable/high-growth startup founders with multiple mentors in a speed-connection fashion. During a 45-minute session, founders will speak to three mentors for 15 minutes each. The mentors are all experienced startup advisors and/or investors whowill be able to help startup foundersnavigate the current challenges in their startup journey
Three sessions will be offered throughout the afternoon on August 25. Each session will be limited to nine startups. All of the 27 startups selected to participate in Mentor Sprint will receive a complimentary ticket to GFX (a $99 value).
Interested Startup Founders should apply soon for consideration as space is limited.
