Then, consider becoming a mentor in the VC4A Mentor-Driven Capital Program – Virtual Edition for Johannesburg, South Africa from June to September 2020 (exact Zoom session dates TBD).
Take advantage of the first dedicated training program designed for African business professionals keen to guide Africa’s up and coming entrepreneurs to success. The goal of this program is to boost your ability as a high-powered mentor to support entrepreneurs while learning to think and act like a savvy business angel. Angel investing is of course about providing early-stage companies with investment capital, but the expertise, time and network that you, as a business mentor can share with entrepreneurs is also vital to their growth and success.
In this unique mentor program, you will guide promising entrepreneurs to success while you achieve your own level of success. You will receive expert guidance, training and hands-on support. The only thing you need to invest during the program is your valuable time, knowledge and network!
Learn how to virtually engage founders, the rules for mentorship, and how to maximize your impact as a business mentor and potentially as an angel. Share with industry experts, tap industry-leading knowledge, and engage your peers in this hands-on learning journey.
Participate in 2 Virtual Mentor-Driven Capital camps that include:
*NOTE: Due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, we are conducting this mentor program virtually for the first time ever. We expect to have 4-5 virtual Zoom sessions of approx. 1 hour each per week in June 2020. You will also get to participate in the newly launched Mentor-Driven capital course on the VC4A Academy and receive a certification of completion, among other things.
Submit a complete application by 26 April 2020 if you are interested in this program. Shortlisted candidates will be invited for an interview. Contact Melissa Ruggles at melissa [at] vc4a [dot] com if you would like to discuss this opportunity in more detail.
