Venture Forum Mentor Network


Get experience, unbiased advice for your business

Take advantage of the expertise available in The Venture Forum and get the advice you need. Entrepreneurs in Transition Mentoring Network provides help from another CEO or Expert Advisor who has already taken a growth business to the level to which you aspire. There is no fee if you qualify, but you must be willing to "pay forward," that is, to share your expertise.

To receive services through the mentoring network:

  • You must be the CEO of an established entrepreneurial growth business that has been in business for at least one year and is not a "life style" business;
  • You must be committed to growing to the next level;
  • Your business must employ at least one person and have plans to hire additional employees.
  • Minimum annual revenue must be $100,000 (Exceptions may be made where applicable).
  • If your business currently earns less than $1 million revenue, you must have a comprehensive business plan.
  • Finally, you must be willing to provide two hours per month of mentoring to another CEO.
  • You are not required to be a member of The Venture Forum to participate in the Network.

The CEO mentoring process:
1. Complete an application - CEO Application (click here)
2. Submit your application and bio to be reviewed by the Mentoring Network director.
3. An appropriate mentor will call you to schedule an appointment for a free consultation.

Remember that you must be willing to provide up to 2 hours of your time per month to mentor other qualified CEOs who aspires to get to the business level you have already attained.
