    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.
