Questions to be answered by every Startup Mentor
1.
What is my industry preference?
Some startup mentors are sector-agnostic. Others prefer to stay within their circle of competence, to quote Warren Buffett.
Just education or just mobility, energy, healthcare. A mix is also possible — but don’t forget the more diversified you are the less focused you become.
2.
How many startups can I comfortably Mentor at the same time?
What has your record been so far?
Did the outcome differ as you brought more startups into your pipeline?
3.
What is my geography preference?
Do you prefer to occasionally meet the startup team you mentor? In their office, at a local co-working space in your city or a neighborhood cafe.
Or are you one of those mentors that seeks cross-border exposure, expanding to other regions of the world..
4.
What level does the startup I Mentor have to be at?
Do you like working with startups that have already achieved some traction?
Or do you like working with startup teams that are just starting with an idea and not much else?
