Emory Venture Mentoring Community

Strengthening Ventures. Building Community.

The Emory Venture Mentoring Community (EVMC) is an opportunity for Emory affiliated founders and Atlanta innovation experts to come together to build an uplifting community of entrepreneurs. Through monthly team-based mentoring sessions, EVMC brings together groups of mentors and fresh founders to provide tailored guidance and connections to help ventures grow and thrive. EVMC fosters lasting relationships and a supportive network where both founders and mentors learn and succeed together.

  • For Mentors

    Do you remember the community that helped you succeed? For experienced entrepreneurs in our alumni and Atlanta ecosystems, this is your opportunity to build that same type of supportive community with like-minded peers and energized founders. As a mentor, you’ll join monthly team sessions alongside 1-2 other mentors and 3-4 founders, sharing insights and providing actionable feedback. Beyond mentoring, EVMC offers space to connect, grow your network, and help shape the future of entrepreneurship at Emory and Metro Atlanta.
  • For Startups

    Are you an Emory startup founder looking for guidance, or simply someone who understands the ride? EVMC connects Emory students, alumni, faculty, and staff founders with seasoned mentors who want to see you succeed. In monthly team sessions, you’ll collaborate with expert mentors and other Emory startup founders who bring diverse experiences, an openness to collaborate, and tailored advice. Beyond structured mentoring, EVMC offers a space to connect with peers, resources, and a supportive community beyond Emory where ventures can grow and succeed.
