Empower Innovators: Apply to Become a Mentor for our 2023 Accelerator Cohort

Join the Ranks of Visionaries: Become a THGx Accelerator Mentor

At The Heritage Group Accelerator, mentors are more than just advisors – they are catalysts for change. As a mentor, you'll form an essential part of our mission: to empower founders to scale their hardtech startups to solve our world’s most pressing challenges. Your expertise, network, and strategic insight become the driving force behind our startups' success. Your journey as a mentor with THGx doesn't just change the future of our startups. It's an opportunity for you to grow, connect, and be part of the hardtech innovation revolution.

Our mentors guide founders by sharing invaluable technical knowledge, connecting them with relevant professionals, and offering strategic business advice. Each contribution from our mentors helps to fill the gap between where our startups are and where they could be.

The THGx Accelerator mentor community is curated based on the unique needs of our cohort. Each year, we handpick a blend of skillsets to best support our startups' aspirations. While we may not require your particular expertise this year, we view the mentor relationship as a long-term partnership. We invite you to stay engaged in our community, joining us for networking events and our annual Showcase.

We have three levels of engagement which represent the time commitment and involvement you would be comfortable providing during the program. Please see a brief description of each of these levels of engagement below to reference as you complete your application:

  • A lead mentor will have particular strategic business experience to share with our founders. Ideally, you will bring a diverse network of professionals—spanning technical to business development sectors—whose expertise can further enhance our startups' growth. Additionally, you will have the time and interest to dedicate to supporting our startups and a strong desire to support the companies and founders that you are matched with.

  • A support mentor will have robust experience to share with our founders. Ideally, you will dedicate time (with the approval of your managers) to work with our companies and founders on technology and/or business development. In this level of engagement, we may not find a startup in our cohort that is a perfect match for your skillset, but your broad experience will likely still yield significant insights and provide substantial value.

  • An Ad Hoc mentor will have specific expertise to share with our founders. This level of engagement is best for individuals who have limited time to engage with our cohort, but would still like to provide support in some capacity.
