The Mentors Network: Philosophy

Who are we?

A nonprofit of highly successful business entrepreneurs who volunteer their time and expertise to help business startups. Our focus is on the very first stage when the entrepreneur is about to jump into a new business.

Each of us has lived through the angst and excitement of this first step, and getting the right advice at the beginning is critical. We do face-to-face mentoring of the would-be entrepreneur at his most critical juncture -- -- jumping his new business.

The mentoring and coaching is direct and personal from fellow entrepreneurs who have founded successful businesses -- -- it's our way of giving back.

This is not stale textbook stuff -- -- it's street savvy advice from people who have been there.

Startup Info

There is much info here for the startup --articles, references and links about risk management, the entrepreneurial spirit, bootstrapping, transitioning from service to product, tax advantages for small businesses, phantom stock, selecting a board of advisers and a board of directors...

The most important resource is the collective experience of our volunteer mentoring entrepreneurs, who have navigated the same storms and enthusiastically share their experience.

The info will be organized by the labels below that tie together related subjects.
