We offer an opportunity for industry professionals and experts to mentor our passionate entrepreneurs who can motivate and share their experiences and expertise with our cohort startups as they grow their innovative businesses. The Mentorship programme involves one-on-one sessions for about 4 months in two programmes in a year, from November-Feb and May-August.

The ideal mentor does not necessarily have to be a business person, but they have to be interested in business and willing to share their expertise to guide an entrepreneur. We call our mentors, “a Business buddy” for our entrepreneurs.

Our mentors are volunteers who are building their professional profiles. We will seize every opportunity to enhance your visibility through online digital media, occasional local and international media publications and regional partners. All mentor-entrepreneur relationship guidelines will be provided for in our mentorship protocol, and any other arrangements or agreements about extra advise should be arranged directly with the entrepreneur. It is good to inform your contact at Zidi if the relationship shifts to further partnerships.
