Investor Roundtables are 30 minutes of intense guidance on one of your problems from six to eight investors from the New Mexico Angels and other partners. They are targeted at high-growth startups that may seek investment seed capital in the future and are an opportunity to socialize your business with investors, seek their guidance, and demonstrate your entrepreneurial potential. Open to ActivateNM Members and Non-members but entrepreneurs must apply to present.
A Mentor’s hindsight can be your foresight. They have been where you are. Leverage a Mentor’s vast experience to hone your skills, guide your path, amplify your strengths, and counter your faults.
Qualified entrepreneurs are matched with one to three mentors who provide advice and critical experience to your company. You will meet regularly for intense reviews of your business such as your strategy, plans, and progress as you discover your customer, validate your hypotheses, develop your product, and grow your business.
Our Mentors are volunteers who donate their valuable time because they believe supporting the next generation of great business leaders is the key to a vibrant economy. Be a good mentee by preparing for meetings, listening attentively, and building trust.
Following the completion of your Lean Canvas and graduating from coaching, founders are invited to ActivateNM’s Mentorship Program.
We are always looking for experienced mentors seeking to give back and help a young company grow. Please contact us.
