If so, TVC Labs is excited to announce that applications are now open for MentorPitch, our 12-week mentorship program designed to help startups become investment ready and get access to funds.
MentorPitch is a unique program that aims to bridge the gap between startups and angel investors. We believe that mentorship is a crucial aspect of due diligence for angel investor groups, and we provide them with the opportunity to engage in a value-adding mechanism for their investment in startups. Through Mentorpitch , we connect startup founders with Angels who are experienced entrepreneurs and professionals that can provide valuable guidance and support.
Our program is centred on the POEM Framework, which posits that a startup Vision manifests as a Proposition delivered by an Organisation that is measured by its Economics as it achieves Milestones on its journey to Series A funding. Each week, we focus on one of the ten topics that make up the framework, providing participants with a comprehensive understanding of the key elements required for startup success. From developing effective operational strategies to securing funding and executing growth plans, our program covers it all.
MentorPitch is not about theoretical knowledge and lectures as we believe in value creating experiences for all involved. So during the program, founders get the opportunity to engage with mentors in one-on-one sessions to receive personalised feedback, and gain practical insights to help overcome challenges and optimise their growth trajectory. Our is a collaborative environment where founders share ideas, take risks, learn from mistakes, and find the best solutions for their startup businesses.
The seventh MentorPitch program will start on the 5th March, 2024 and end on 27th May 2024 offering participants a generous timeframe to fully engage in the learning process. Over the course of 12 weeks, startups will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in valuable knowledge and skills. At the end of the program, startups that align with the investment criteria of the angel investors will get funding.
Applications are now open, 10th February 2024 deadline. If you qualify you don’t want to miss out on this incredible opportunity to join this transformative journey and make your mark in the startup ecosystem. Together, we can create a thriving community of successful African startups.
