MENTORSHIP
“A society flourishes when people plants trees under whose shade they will never sit.” – Greek Proverb
Starting a business is hard; you know, you’ve done it. And you probably had some help. There is nothing more rewarding for a successful entrepreneur than the opportunity to share his or her knowledge and experience with a startup. There is nothing more valuable to a new entrepreneur than learning from someone who has done it before. Mentors can provide strength, guidance, and the wisdom to help early-stage businesses move forward with confidence and purpose.
