The Mentor Programme is an effective and popular way to transfer professional knowledge and skills from a more experienced entrepreneur or specialist (mentor) to a less experienced one. 

The mentor is an experienced professional, a source of knowledge and answers. He inspires and helps his mentee develop in his personal and professional life. For example, in order to attract an investor, startup founders consult with mentor. He helps substantiate the idea with figures and draw up a company development plan, and shares contacts of investors he knows.

Mentee is an entrepreneur with little experience who needs help from a more experienced professional, who not only help solve difficult cases, but also provide moral support in various business situations.

This initiative is supported by the Aid For Trade project, with financial support the Government of Finland.
