Become a Mentor

MIT's Venture Mentoring Service has attracted a dynamic group of volunteer mentors who give their time so that others may succeed.

Mentors join for many reasons, including the intellectual appeal of this work and the collegial team approach VMS uses to address each venture's needs. The mentors have been selected for their expertise in business formation and operations, and for their skills as advisors.

They bring a wide range of experience as founders, chairmen, CEOs, chief technical officers and corporate directors.
