Mentors

Many successful entrepreneurs attribute their success to the impact of mentors, and we believe that it’s a crucial part of the journey. BSEEN works with a varied pool of voluntary mentors to support our start-ups to launch, develop and grow their businesses in the early stages.

Our mentors are matched with a suitable entrepreneur and offer a monthly mentoring session, providing an impartial sounding board and specific guidance.

“Mentoring is largely about understanding your mentee and their ambitions, providing encouragement and passing on knowledge and experience and explaining a few dos and don’ts along the way. The enjoyment for me is seeing energetic young people make their way in the world and if I can make a small contribution to that, then that’s all the better”
