With mentoring you get specific and exclusive sparring
Companies enrolled in DeepTech Mentoring will receive valuable sparring on issues relevant specifically for them. The mentor meetings are usually about subjects such as strategic direction, business model, go-to-market strategies, sales, partnership agreements, team, patent applications and funding. And, of course, some good advice on prioritising time, finances and resources.

Testimonial
The mentor program has been vital for the development of ZenzeTech and receiving our first investment.
We found our fourth co-founder through the mentor program, and the mentors guided us in multiple pivots which changed our product and shortened our time to market by several years. We would never have been where we are today without our mentors.Christian Bygballe Haahr, CEO and Co-founderZenzeTech
Structured and well-proven approach
DeepTech Mentoring is established in 2014 and developed in partnership with MIT and the MIT Venture Mentoring Service.
More than 200 companies have been through the program, where quality remains a key component. All mentor meetings are organised by the mentoring administration and facilitated by a lead mentor. Mentees are responsible for sending out agendas and recaps of of all meetings. Apart from the mentors’ unique and voluntary contribution, the meeting structure and the preparation of all meetings by all parties are key success factors.
Mentees normally participate in the program for six months. Meetings take place monthly with a predefined structure. The first meeting has a duration of two hours, the following meetings 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Why should you engage in mentoring?
“A fledgling venture is more likely to thrive when an idea, good business planning, and an entrepreneur are matched with proven skills and experience”
– One of the Core Principles of MIT Venture Mentoring Service
