Business Mentors

Are you a local entrepreneur interested in making a difference in the Kingston business community?  If so, we would love you to consider leveraging your expertise and knowledge by becoming a mentor for our Starter Company Plus, Summer Company and other business support programs.  Offering your invaluable guidance and support to early-stage entrepreneurs who are embarking on their own business journey can really help start these businesses off on the right track.

Whether you are a seasoned entrepreneur, an experienced executive, or an industry expert, your skills and insights can help startups and new entrepreneurs navigate the highs and lows of establishing their businesses. By taking part in this initiative, you’ll have the chance to share your experiences, knowledge, expand your network, and make a positive impact on Kingston’s next generation of entrepreneurs.

What does this commitment involve? It’s entirely up to you. This is a flexible volunteer position where you can contribute your available time.

We would love to hear from you if:

// You have previous or current experience as a business owner/operator.
// You are familiar with the startup lifecycle and have experience in scaling businesses during different growth stages.
// You can identify challenges faced by companies and offer appropriate questions, insights, or guidance.
// You possess strong emotional intelligence, can build trusting relationships, and have excellent communication skills, particularly as an attentive listener.
// You have demonstrated your leadership, advisory, expertise, and mentoring abilities, and can provide references and details about your experience in your profile.
// You are eager to give back to the Kingston business community!
