What can I expect at Mentor Night?
Great question! We host our Mentor Nights with the intention of building and fostering a entrepreneurship community for our students, alumni, community members, and supporters of the entrepreneurship journey. The first 30 minutes of Mentor Night is a chance for attendees to snack on drinks and appetizers while meeting with others. Our speaker will then introduce their business to the room and ask the audience for feedback on specific business struggles that they're experiencing. The last 30 minutes of Mentor Night will be an additional chance for attendees to discuss what they've heard with others and reconnect with those in the room. Though this is the general format for Mentor Night, each event may change or be reformatted to fit the needs of that night or speaker.
