Tested Approach
Access to a Team of Mentors
Based on the MIT Venture Mentoring Service, LaunchCLT uses a team mentoring methodology and a formal process to create the best experience for all. Entrepreneurs meet with a team of volunteer mentors in ongoing, confidential meetings, and mentors commit to avoiding conflict of interest and strict confidentiality.
