Want to Become a Mentor?
Kinect Capital is built upon the graciousness and generosity of a diverse community who has experienced and contributed to fundraising over the course of their careers.
The best advice is given by others who have experienced it.
Kinect Capital opens our arms to those who want to give their time and expertise to tomorrow’s titans through mentoring. Mentors will undergo a training program, be guided by a team leader, and be given the chance to deeply connect to the CEOs and other mentors assigned to the team.
Mentoring commitments are 1 hour per week for each CEO the mentor elects to support. The mentoring cohort lasts between 6 – 8 weeks.
