Mentorship Marathon
For Startups during and beyond COVID19
18 May – 18 August 2020
The Mentorship Marathon is a 22 on Sloane initiative aimed to support startups towards re-thinking and re-evaluating their business models. The COVID-19 Pandemic has affected all businesses both big and small and we hope that the mentorship marathon will support startups to remain agile and re-think their business goals and survival during and beyond this period.
How does it Work?
We have a dedicated team that will match a startup with a mentor depending on the need of the startup, the sector, and the profile of the mentor. We encourage that all mentorship engagement take place virtually during this time.
