Mentor Team

I've been at Mass Challenge for almost a month now. When they said "accelerator" they meant it. Things have been moving quickly.

One of the first things that we were asked to do was to put together a mentor team from the pool of fantastic execs/lawyers/investors that have generously contributed their time and experience to help out. This was an intense process of multiple "get to know you" events where finalists got to meet and connect with these folks.

When the smoke cleared I had a good idea of who connected well with me and my company. Comparing this with mentor backgrounds and areas of my business that I want to spend time strengthening, I came up with a fantastic team. We met last week and came up with top level goals for our effort over the course of the program. It feels really good to know there is a group of experienced professionals that are on-hand to keep me on track. This is a short summer/program, not a moment of energy or time to waste!

So one of the great benefits to Mass Challenge - a superior group of mentors generous with their time.
