Thanks to the participation in PFR Network of Mentors program, you and your team will receive substantive support for your startup from an experienced expert who will help you develop your chosen business skill. Mentors will share practical knowledge about running a business and tell you what they learned from successes and failures. In addition, during the official start and closing of the program you will get to know other startups and mentors or expand your network of contacts.

Recruitment for the program is divided into two-stage:

• First stage – filling in the application form and justifying the need of mentoring in the selected category as well as indicating the preferred mentor. You can choose two categories from available.
• Second stage – selected startups will be invited for a direct meeting or call / video conference during which they will present i.e. their activities, what challenges they face and why they want to participate in the program.

The application form need to be completed by 5 August 2018 inclusive.

After selecting the final group, startups will be invited to the official opening of the program, during which they will get to know all the mentors. This event – planned for September – will be the inauguration of a series of meetings with mentors that will be held until the end of November 2018. Each startup will have the opportunity to have a minimum of 2-3 meetings with the chosen mentor. Depending on the availability of the mentor, meetings will be conducted directly or in the form of videoconferences. The end of the program is scheduled for December 2018, and its purpose is to present selected projects to invited investors.
