Mentor Matching

Pair each admitted startup with the mentors who actually move its needle — fit over reputation.

When to use

  • A new cohort is admitted and needs mentors.
  • A startup is stuck and needs a better-matched mentor.

Steps

  1. Diagnose each startup's two or three biggest gaps.
  2. Profile the mentor pool by real, demonstrated strengths.
  3. Match each gap to a mentor who has closed it before.
  4. Check availability and any conflict of interest.
  5. Set the cadence and the goal for the pairing.

Output

A mentor match plan: each startup paired to mentors against its gaps, with a cadence and goal, following the [[Cohort playbook]]. The operator confirms.
