Futurpreneur Meet-Up: The Importance of Mentorship in Entrepreneurship
November 16, 2022 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
Free
When it comes to surviving the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, a mentor can make all the difference — they’re essentially a game-changer!
So why don’t all entrepreneurs have mentors? There are times when people do not realize how important it is, and there are times when it can be difficult to find one or to find the right person to help you. Join us and Futurpreneur during Global Entrepreneurship Week, Wednesday, November 16th, to learn more about mentorship and how you can find the right mentor to help you succeed!

The commitment is two years long and generally about 4 hours a month of a commitment by the mentor.
